Depending on your use-case regarding the multiple midi blocks you may be able 
to use parts of the ‘rehearsalMidi’ logic that’s present in the openlilylib 
gridly snippets to modify your midi output filenames as a work-around.

https://github.com/openlilylib/snippets/blob/master/ly/gridly/grid-templates.ily

that function creates rehearsal-midis with a (volume) highlighted staff by 
modifying the min/max volume settings of the score and the staff to highlight. 
But the part of it that influences the midi-file name appears to be usable for 
other use cases too. The midi-file(s) that are produced by the function are 
named with a suffix after the voice. See 
https://github.com/openlilylib/snippets/tree/master/ly/gridly/usage-examples/multi-file
 for an example where the function is used.
