Off hand the connection here to אין עושין מצות חבילות do not pack multiple mitzvos on one time because it looks like you are burdened with it and you want to pater yourself off ASAP, does not make any sense. What connection does it have to the praising of Hashem with multiple items?` Maybe, it is talking in the case where he only mentions one thing in the end of the brocho but two things in the brocho. He wants to cover all the bases at once so, he is packing on multiple items to the brocho.

ברכות מט,ב

לעולם אל יוציא אדם את עצמו מן הכלל a person should not exclude himself from the group. This is the reason we always daven in plural. The Shunamis said מלכים ב פרק ד – וַתֹּ֕אמֶר בְּת֥וֹךְ עַמִּ֖י אָנֹכִ֥י יֹשָֽׁבֶת: I don’t want to separate myself from the group because then I become individually responsible for my actions. The Rabbenu Bachaye in Parshes Ki Siso explains שמות פרק ל פסוק יב – וְלֹא־יִהְיֶ֥ה בָהֶ֛ם נֶ֖גֶף בִּפְקֹ֥ד אֹתָֽם: no plague should occur when counting them. Together we are all tzadikim, but we get separated by counting and the bad will be revealed.
The Midrash Shmuel explains the mishna in Avos where Hilel says משנה מסכת אבות פרק ב משנה ד – הלל אומר אל תפרוש מן הצבור don’t separate yourself from the group, if you think you are better than they are, then don’t trust yourself until the day of your death, if you think the group is not as good as you are, don’t judge them until you arrive in their place, if you think they don’t want to listen to you, don’t say something which is not worth listening to, if you think you will join later, then think that maybe you will never have time to join.
