[racket] generating 0 or more than 1 additions in the body of for/list, for/vector, for/hash

You can use for*/list for this situation.

Suppose you essentially want to do a (map f lst),
except that f returns not just the value but a list of zero or more values.

Then do:

(for*/list ((x (in-list lst))
             (y (in-list (f x))))
   y)
