In theory, you should be able to file a single IFR flight plan that
covers your entire flight, with delays at each intermediate point. I
just filed the following with DUATS:

1 Type of flight plan: IFR
2 Aircraft tail number: N25629
3 Acft type/special equip: P28A/U
4 True airspeed: 130
5 Departure point: HPN
6 Departure time: (UTC) Mon Dec 6 20:00
7 Altitude: 30
8 Route of flight: CMK V3 HFD IJD/D0+05 HFD V3 CMK 4104/07342
9 Destination: HPN
10 Estimated time enroute: 0400
11 Remarks:
12 Fuel on board: 0500
13 Alternate destination(s):
14 Pilot's name: ROY H SMITH
Address: XXX
Phone no.: 999-555-5555
Aircraft home base: HPN
15 Number aboard: 1
16 Color of aircraft: WHITE/BLUE
17 Dest contact name:
Phone no.:

and the computer accepted it. The "IJD/D0+05" means "delay for 5
minutes at IJD". I suppose for a touch-and-go, I could have made it
"IJD/D0+01".

Oddly enough, when I first entered the flight plan, it said "Inserting
lat/long (4104/07342) for HPN to ensure ARTCC flight plan acceptance",
and generated a remark (field 11), "..4104/07342.. IS HPN". I never
changed that field, but by the time I filed it, the field somehow got
cleared. No clue why.

In practice, however, I think you will find it simplier to just file a
separate flight plan for each leg. It seems to be what ATC deals with
best (at least around here). My guess is if I actually called up the
tower to get my clearance, I'd just get a clearance to IJD and be told
I'd get the rest once I got there.

As you said, when you request your approach clearance, just tell the
controller that your intention is to fly the published missed then
pick up your clearance to XXX.
