There can only be one "slow" step because it is considered the slowest of all the steps. Slow is a relative term and describes the speed of one step of reaction in relation to the speed of the other steps.

You can only have 1 slow step and that is the step that matches the overall reaction's rate law.

In this class it is only possible to have single slow step mechanisms.
