Search by multiple Message-Id's

[M1z23R]

I am working on groups of sent emails, so I want to be able to find all replies to those sent messages. I know I can query by in-reply-to and references, I also know, I can chain multiple OR*s, but I am not sure what the limit would be, and I don't want to bombard the mail server with a lot of data just for the search query since - if I am not mistaking, those queries are executed on server and not client side - correct me if I am wrong.
Basically, what I am looking for is a way to pass an array of message-id's just like passing array of arrays of uid's.

I just tried with 500 emails, and to be honest, it doesn't seem that slow or anything. I'd still like to hear some other thoughts, but here is how I did it in case someone else needs it:

var searchCriteria: any = [["HEADER", "IN-REPLY-TO", messageIds[0]]];
if (messageIds.length > 1) {
  let indx = 1;
  while (indx !== messageIds.length - 1) {
    searchCriteria = [
      [
        "OR",
        ["HEADER", "IN-REPLY-TO", messageIds[indx]],
        ...searchCriteria,
      ],
    ];
    indx++;
  }
}
