So if I understand correctly then this document would have an
implementation of, say, NFSv4[0] over TCP[1] send TCP packets for the
same TCP connection with different labels, *and* ensure that each packet
contains parts of no more than one (exactly one) NFSv4 RPC.

You do not understand correctly.

See section 6.2.1 of that document, which reads in part:

   NOTE WELL:
        A connection-oriented transport-layer protocol session
     (e.g. TCP session, SCTP session) MUST have the same DOI and
     same Sensitivity Label for the life of that connection.  The
     DOI is selected at connection initiation and MUST NOT change
     during the session.

                                                - Bill
