Nico,

Did you really mean to allow commas as separators (%2C in ABNF)?

I would be tempted to say:

  A JSON sequence is a concatenation of any number of JSON values,
  remembering that each value (matching <JSON-text> in [RFC7159])
  can be preceded and followed by insignificant whitespace.
  Whitespace MUST be present between two JSON values when both
  values are true, false, null, or a number. Whitespace between
  values is allowed, but not required, when either value is an
  object, array, or string.

  Concatenating JSON values, each terminated with a newline (U+000A),
  is a simple way to match the syntax rules.

  An empty text and texts consisting only of whitespace are both valid
  JSON sequences of zero JSON values.

  The media type "application/jsons" indentifies content that is
  a UTF-8-encoded JSON sequence.
