  Scale-invariant running couplings are constructed for several quarks being
decoupled together, without reference to intermediate thresholds.
Large-momentum scales can also be included. The result is a multi-scale
generalization of the renormalization group applicable to any order.
Inconsistencies in the usual decoupling procedure with a single running
coupling can then be avoided, e.g. when cancelling anomalous corrections from
t,b quarks to the axial charge of the proton.
