This is already possible, as per the netCDF users' guide:
https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/netcdf.html#Attribute-Conventions
It is possible for a netCDF file to adhere to more than one set of
conventions, even when there is no inheritance relationship among the
conventions. In this case, the value of the `Conventions' attribute may
be a single text string containing a list of the convention names
separated by blank space (recommended) or commas (if a convention name
contains blanks).
