This begins to pay off if you register a LOT more things at once, as a
collection. For an additional $100 fee, you can enter an addendum
listing the individual works as separately searchable items. Read the
circulars at copyright.gov for their take on the concept of a
collection.

I've only done the collection bit once, but then my individual works
tend to be fairly sizable...
