Is is possible to link multiple addresses?

You'll receive all bytes at the first BB address. It's perfectly legal to link several Bitcoin addresses to the same BB address.

Perhaps a small addition to the general understanding for the new:

If you browse here http://transition.byteball.org/ . Then you will see that this is very common.
It is also more convenient than any BTC address to link to a new / discrete BB address (this is also possible).
In such a case, after each distribution, the shares received at the various BB addresses must be consolidated again at the address specified by the bot (primary BB address). This is needed to receive blackbytes for all these bytes (in the following distribution(s)).

If you only use one BB address (and connect multiple BTC addresses with this), then this is not required.
If you dont touch the wallet (trade, buy .. Bytes), you will automatically get your blackbytes for the shown bytes in every round.
The BTC's can be transferred from the linked address some hours after the snapshot.
They must then be shown again to the next round(s) (at one of the linked BTC-addresses or a newly linked BTC-address).

I don't think if you have many bitcoin addresses linked to many byteball addresses that you need to consolidate them in a unique byteball address in order to receive the corresponding blackbytes in the second distribution, nor that it would be more convenient to do so.

Am I correct tonych?

But even if I am correct why the transition bot shows the many byteball linked addresses, their balances and then inform: "Move your bytes to one of the linked addresses in order to maximize the amount of blackbytes you receive"?
"Maximize" here means only account for some dust you won't receive because of rounding problems etc. or you risk loosing many of the blackbytes you'd otherwise receive if you'd consolidated in one of the linked byteball addresses?

edit: small correction near the end.
