So you mean the pilot could for example drop a single SC 50 bomb and then gain hight again with the SC 250 or SC 500 and the rest of 3 SC 50`s still under the fuselage/wings making later a second attack with the next single SC 50 and so on and so on? And at the end (5th diving attack) he could drop the biggest bomb of 250/500 kg?

Yes, the manual information does permit your scenario. But, I would think that a Stuka pilot with anything more between his ears than a vacuum, would be able to figure out that his 1st attack would probably be the most effective, and so he would want to drop his most powerful weapon, or everything, in that first attack. The Ju 87, because of its relatively low performance, tended to be a flak magnet, and I don't really see its pilot wanting to stay in the vicinity of his target any longer than he had to. Now, perhaps if the a/c was on an area patrol, the pilot might decide to drop individual bombs on things like river barges, or single vehicles, or other innocuous things that weren't too well armed; but otherwise I would stick with the above comments.
