[xmlsec] What is a good way to handle the case where you might have too many references?

You can use Transforms (XPath, enveloped, etc.) to put multiple pieces 
of a document
into one reference. But it's hard to say if you would benefit from it 
because the complexity
of XPath expression can degrade performance.

You might want to try XMLDSig working group mailing list on W3C web site:
