Is it possible to set multiple environment variables in one CMD line statement?

I have a PowerShell script set to execute after an MSBuild is finished. It uses environment variables set in the POSTBUILD section of the build process (build directories and the like.) Currently it looks like this: 

  set MAGE="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools\mage.exe"
  set APPFILE=$(TargetDir)$(TargetName).application
  set MANIFEST=$(TargetPath).manifest
  set CERT=$(ProjectDir)$(TargetName).pfx
  set PROJECTNAME=$(TargetName)
  set CONFIGURATION=$(ConfigurationName)
  set TARGETDIR=$(TargetDir)
  set TEAMBUILD=$False
  Powershell -File "$(ProjectDir)POSTBUILD.ps1"

With each set operating on a separate line, but still within the same CMD instance.

Is there a way I can set multiple variables at once using just one line instead of 7?

As Ansgar points out, a better solution would be to daisy-chain the commands as follows:

set "A=foo" & set "B=bar" & set "C=baz"

You could even inline the script execution also:

set "A=foo" & set "B=bar" & set "C=baz" & Powershell -File "$(ProjectDir)POSTBUILD.ps1"

Yes, you can pipe the commands together:

set A="hi" | set B="bye"
