I wonder if the multiple constant class generation could be implemented as a decorator around ConstantHelper instead?
That way it could also be used for the ClassConstantHelper (it is needed there as well). i.e. basically:

class MultiConstantHelper implements ConstantHelper {
    ConstantHelper delegate;

    DirectMethodHandleDesct addConstant(...) {
        newConstantClass(); // might update `delegate`
        delegate.addConstant(...);
    }
}
