Click to expand. Which multi disc games? The game I can see - specifically Assassins Creed 3, seems to take a trick out of Max Payne 3's book, where instead of having two 6+ GB files, the publisher has opted to split the 2nd disc into several 2gb DLC sized chunks and has also presumably done any necessary rejigging in the code to keep it working and referencing the right locations.
This is of course different to the retail 2 discs, and allows them to sell it in the marketplace as it looks like the 360 itself only supported 1 main game file on digital or something along those lines. So for ones where they have done the work already and split up the 2nd disc for sale on the 360 marketplace I can see support for those with the second disc treated as DLC which the emulator supports. But for games where previously the publisher hasn't done the necessary work to split up the second disc for digital sale on the 360 marketplace and if Microsoft doesn't add in extra features to the emulator I can't see support for those games happening.

Only issue is GOTY type releases with DLC discs with no checks or restrictions on who can install the DLC (like you could share it among all your friends and all could install the DLC for free). There is no way around that unless they add a second source or disc signature or whatever they use to validate the disc, which would be for the 2nd DLC only disc and assume you own the game on disc (disc 1) as well. Though this can be abused if 1 person uses the DLC disc and a 2nd person uses the game disc, then both get game+DLC for price of 1 GOTY edition. So if they can add in the 2nd source it would depend how much the publishers suspect it can be abused vs the inconvenience to genuine owners of the DLC on disc who don't share it around and only want to play the DLC they own.
Only game I may of been slightly interested in was FO:NV but since I run it on PC with mods and Bethesda likes to overprice their DLC on Xbox (£20 for DLC alone during a sale when the GOTY edition is £10 on disc? Yeah right.) I've decided I'm long past caring about it.
