Yes, there are a number of BCPs (and STDs) that consist of multiple
RFCs.  Another example is BCP 14, which used to be RFC 2119 and is now
that plus the update in RFC 8174 -- current use of BCP 14 needs both.

Citing the BCP (or STD) ensures a reference to whichever version is
current at the time of reading; citing the individual RFC(s) creates a
reference to what was current at the time of writing.  Which you want
to refer to will determine how you cite it.
