It depends on whether you are following archival descriptive practices
(e.g. DACS) or whether you are following MARC practice. In MARC, you
can only list a single creator as 100, the others go in 700.
According to DACS, it is legal to have more than one creator in the
high-level <did> <origination> but if you export to MARC, you'll need to
reconcile which one maps to 100 and which one(s) map to 700.
