if you have Bundles added, split them into each item in the list, or do like I did before I took the time to split, use about 1/2 of the bundle +/- 15%-ish).
Or as you said roll inside the bundle. (The bundles were easier before when they held a few items (except Platinum club ones), but now with ten items, you will drown trying to use all.
But I recommend splitting them up in the list as separate items.
I did split my bundles (I thought) but when (not if) I find one unsplit I split it, and then picks a random item within, just as you said, but split it for the next run.
If you pull a bundle, use two three complete items from it, or more if you like, but you do not need to use all, but only picking a hairpin from V4 Complete Bundle is “too little”. Clarification: A bundle still counts as only one pulled item.

Very clever use of that pull, impressive, and a grest result!
Here's my render for my multi-repull pull 3, probably entitled "Yes, That Box - You Know The One...":
#1b - 437 - Dream Home: Breakfast Nook Furniture -- London Eclectic
#2 - 378 - Decorative Boxes
#3d - 430 - Dread and Dead Helmets
#4b - 994 - Millennium Horse Texture Pack 1 LB1 - 34 - Advanced Shaders 1.5 ...Used on the shader for the truck. Or was it ? Itdoesn'treally matter because it's been replaced with the chain items - flamingos and windmill
Edit: Modified to include a couple of chain items ...
In the meantime, here's my pull #4:
#1 - 31 - Ace of Spades Jack ...an M4 outfit, good start!
#2 - 1526 - This n That Extravaganza 1 ...DAZ Store can't find it -a bundle from the PC anniversary sale - way back in the old days (Dark Designs - Volume 2, GIS Nova, GIS Terminal, Lisa's Botanicals - Climbing Vines, Resplendent Tresses, Stellar)
#3 - 990 - Millennium Girls ...DAZ Store can't find it - probably too old. PreTeen/PreSchool characters (V1/2 texture-compatible).Got it! #4 - 1241 - Ruffle Bikini Textures ...don't have the bikini
#4b - 337 - Dark Ops Ready-to-Render Bundle ...DAZ Store can't find it. One of the DS 4 freebie bundles - contains: Dark Ops Ready to Render Scene(.DUF); Victoria 4.2 Base; Victoria 4 gw 5 female texture; De Roca Hair; Tango Down V4; Michael 4 Base; Michael 4 Skin Maps (High Res); Michael 4 Creature Creator Morphs; AFC for Men; Loading Dock) 455 - DSON Importer for Poser BETA (Inactive) ...don't use DSON
LB1 - 943 - Mermaid ...DAZ Store can't find it - probably too old. It's the old V1/2 era stand-alone mermaid.Got it!
From the first page: " But let us add just another twist to it. For any pull except the first, you decide a chain story item from any previous entry. That item will be a substitute for one of the pulled items, so list all the pulled items, then decide which item to substitute. For entry #3, you can pick from entry #1 or #2 etc etc, so the chain item can change, and come back later on."
So maybe I need to go and actually read the rules properly !
As my mother always says: "If everything else fail, read the manual"
Rules read (at least that bit of them) and understood. So I have a feeling that the "flameengos of flamenco" will be appearing in a re-render of that last (third) entry.
Fixing my second entry won't be so easy, as I've already deleted the scene and flat Vicky. But I like a challenge... (I think?)
That sets the bar pretty high. Reminds me of Pratchett's "The Luggage" where all kinds of things could get gobbled up, yet it could serve up a nice set of pressed clothes for Rincewind the "wizzard" (only person in the school of magic who has the misspelled word on his hat fwiw)
Thanks! @Gopherus is more clever at working in books, movies & things. Very subtle. Been drawing (or attempting to draw) 'underground' style counterculture comics since 1980's. "Keep Austin Weird" meant some of us weren't in the Young Republicans' club. ;-)
Second render - had to get a bit creative as I no longer have the original scene:
"My little dahhlings, you've done eet ! Without err mesh she won't be able to put on any of err vampire unting outfits ! Eeen fact she'll be totally useless ! Now bury err mesh ere along with that stupid windmill"

Thank you Luci - the flamingos seem to be taking over !
Speaking of which, here's a render for pull 4.
But I'm not quite sure how this relates to the "What Can Go Wrong When Moving" theme - but give me a few hours and I might come up with something.
Edit: I needed a good nights sleep, but here's some text that might shoehorn it into the theme... at a push!
The Lair Of The Pink Flamingo
Space-Dad:"Okay kids, you already know that this used to be an evil mastermind's evil lair, so it'll need a bit of redecorating."
(Aside, to his Space-Wife):"Why do you think the estate agents moved the flamingos? We told them that the kids liked liked them as they were ? "
Younger kid, pointing:"Mummy ! Daddy ! There's somebody hiding there behind the dolls' house !
FX: ...sound of old rusty mechanism being turned*...
What I used from the pull, specifically from the two bundles:
#1 - 31 - Ace of Spades Jack
#2 - 1526 - from "This n That Extravaganza 1" - Lisa's Botanicals - Climbing Vines, Resplendent Tresses, and Stellar
#3 - 990 - Millennium Girls
#4b - 337 - from "Dark Ops Ready-to-Render Bundle"- the Loading Dock (also M4 base and V4 base)
LB1 - 943 - Mermaid
Chain items: Flamingos and Windmill from the Lawn Ornaments of my original pull
I think I need to take a break, so no pull 5... yet !
The local renaissance club was facing an unplanned move-- Eviction Notice! While Sir Samurai and Sir Chevalier were having fun smiting one another with the cleaning implements, Lady Monique was hoping to raise some money. If she could make a self propelled wagon, people might buy into the idea. If only she had a carriage. A Horseless... Oh nevermind. Better start packing!

Comments
uh... how do I deal with bundles?
Reroll?
Remove and leave the single items in?
Use everything?
Roll a number within the bundle?
if you have Bundles added, split them into each item in the list, or do like I did before I took the time to split, use about 1/2 of the bundle +/- 15%-ish).
Or as you said roll inside the bundle. (The bundles were easier before when they held a few items (except Platinum club ones), but now with ten items, you will drown trying to use all.

If I were you I would roll inside the bundle.
...or you could follow the rules (that I don't read... ;o) which say...
@Totte - all together, and in a pantomime audience voice, "It's behind you!"
@Tynkere - that's a clever take on the 'moving' theme!
