I haven't double-checked, but I exepect the answer is to just reuse the 
handle; ie: create the handle just once rather than creating a new 
handle for each port.

Also: you certainly don't need to find a data_handle multiple times !

So: just loop on the dissector_add.

Note:

Theres also a "range" mechanism/idiom which can be used (especially if 
you want to allow the range to be changed in a preference).

See packet-fix.c for an example.
