Commentary for Kiddushin 101:5

הרי תודה דליתא בטעות וליתא נמי בזה אחר זה ואיתמר תודה שנשחטה על שמונים חלות חזקיה אמר קדשי לה ארבעים מתוך שמונים ור' יוחנן אמר לא קדשי לה ארבעים מתוך שמונים

Daf Shevui to Kiddushin

Forty loaves of bread are supposed to be offered with the thanksgiving offering. If one tries to offer eighty loaves with them, Hizkiyah says that all eighty are sanctified. It looks like Hizkiyah is saying that although they can’t be sanctified consecutively, they can be sanctified simultaneously. R. Yohanan would invoke Rabbah’s principle.
