Hi Kyle,
It seems like your first option is the best one since the DOI represents an identifier for the EML package you are creating. I'm not sure I understand your concern with multiple DOIs since each version of the EML package should only have one corresponding DOI, but please explain further if I've misinterpreted.
Thanks,
