Geocities File Manager has an interesting solution.

You can transfer from 5 to 20 files in a single upload operation. The
default offering is 5, but you specify a number between 1 and 20. It
will present you with that many fields (each field is a file path).

This involves a trip to the server every time you change the count,
since the html is generated by the server and not DHTML. It does seem
to be an efficient approach, simply because you typically know how
many files you are going to upload. And if you ask for more fields
than you use, no problems, it ignores them.

It's not a sexy solution, but it works. I used it on and off for
almost 10 years. It is actually a very nice tool.
