Can I put multiple alchemical creations in a back pack and throw it at an BBEG And have it work?
THE BAG/ BACK PACK
Say I have 2 tangle foot bags, 1 potion of fireball, 2 alchemist fire, 1 kerosine oil, 1 quick freeze, 1 potion of ill omen, portion of bestow curse, and potion of glitter dust. Would this work?
Would he effectively have to make saves vs all of the potions?
Could I even throw this bag?
In what order could this be done?
What if I have 10 tanglefoot bags or portions of fireball. on one bandolier and threw it at them. Make a different save for each fire ball?
Would glitter dust go off? And get everyone? Same as fireball?
Pretty sure that a potion (or I guess oil) of fireball isn't a thing. If all of this stuff is in a bag it won't do anything, the bag would hold in all of the glue and glitter, maybe he'll take a point of splash damage.

Potions must be drank to be effective, or purposefully applied. Splashing someone with one just wastes the potion.

The reason why is probably due to schemes like this :)
I guess it could work from a bandolier. But the saves for everything would be pretty low and you'd have a hard time hitting him with it in the first place. I'd probably treat it as an improvised thrown weapon with a 10ft increment. Likely not going to do much to a BBEG if it even hits at all.

I thought the alchemist could throw a potion of fireball? Or a potion of summon elemental. And is their any way to apply more than one at a time?

What if your built towards throwing? I can easily hit 40ft by level 3.

This is one of those many instances where the rules have a break from reality. Clearly if a bottle of alchemist's fire does 1d6 damage, than a larger bottle of alchemist's fire must do more. But there is no larger bottle in the rules. There are rules for throwing more than one, having a high bab, dual wielding, basically being higher level. By the time you can throw three, 3d6 is negligible damage, anything else you could do would be better.
So this is entirely up to GM call. If you have a rulesist GM, they'll say no you can't do that. If you have a realsist GM they'll say sure and make something up on the spot. And the next time you try to do the same thing, they'll make something completely different up cause that's how realsies roll.
In other words, its the same answer to the question I want to do something not in the rulebook: ask your GM.
