Can the Nikon F75 shoot unlimited multiple exposures without advancing the film?

I’m considering a Nikon F75 for a film project that needs several exposures on the same frame, ideally triggered remotely and unattended. The manual says more than two exposures are possible by pressing the BKT button and rotating the command dial again after the first shot. Can the F75 be set so the film simply does not advance between shots for an arbitrary number of exposures, or do you have to manually re-enable each additional exposure after every shot?

From the same manual that you linked to, and the last sentence in the same paragraph that you mentioned:
To take more than two shots on the same frame, rotate the Command Dial while pressing the [bkt] button again after the first shot is taken by depressing the shutter release button and while [multiple exposure indicator] is blinking so [multiple exposure indicator] appears without blinking. Repeat this operation as many times as you wish to continue taking pictures on the same frame.
That would indicate that you do have to manually prep the camera each time you want to take a multiple exposure. (Which would be a reasonable thing for a consumer camera, as you want to minimize the possibility of people taking multiple exposures by accident.)

Based on the manual wording, the Nikon F75 does not appear to have a fully automatic "keep this frame" mode for unlimited multiple exposures. To continue beyond the next shot, you must press the BKT button and rotate the command dial again after each exposure while the multiple-exposure indicator is blinking. In other words, the camera needs to be manually re-armed each time you want another exposure on the same frame. So for unattended remote shooting, the F75 is not a good fit if you need repeated exposures without film advance and without manual intervention between shots.
