you should never drop 2 or more gear at the same time, unless you have a stop sign. but even in that case... let say you are at 55mph, you see a stop sign, you pull the clutch, drop all the gear until 1st, BUT while braking slowly (lets say you are at 35 mph) your cable clutch snap. your rear wheel will lock, and you will probably loose control.

it might be hard first, but you should practice to only drop 1 gear at a time.
I usualy rev 2000-3000 rpm between each gear.

but no need to do this from 2nd to 1st gear. at that point, you will be almost at a complete stop. just pull the clutch, and go in 1st while stopped or almost stopped.
