Treat each gear change separately or by the time you get to 2nd the engine might've stalled.
Clutch-blip/click-clutch for each gear as speed reduces, that way the engine keeps closer to the desired rev range and you know you're in the right gear when you let the clutch out, and also the back-torque on the tyre helps it grip the tarmac rather than liftup or wiggle sideways.
Ruth, for slipper clutches your best explanation would be Neil's writeup on http://www.sigmaperformance.com/slipperclutch.html

If the bike is stalling while downshift multiple gears, then I would be looking at adjusting sometime on the engine. BTW 749's are prone to this and I am having it looked at on my own bike soon.
Engaging each gear on the way down the box makes for very busy braking on the track. However if it is working for you I would stick with it. It does not work well for me
