If I'm understanding you correctly, you might be over-thinking it. I have something similar in my own code.

I have a controller named Source. In that controller, I have the following method:

public function edit($source_id, $year)
{
    # Code relevant to this method here
}

This produces: http://localhost/source/edit/12/2013, where 12 refers to $source_id and 2013 refers to $year. Each parameter that you add is automatically translated into its own URI segment. It required no .htaccess trickery or custom routes either.
