Instead of that you could also use nested pigments maps:

#declare Mandel_1= pigment {..}
#declare Mandel_2= pigment {..}
#declare Mandel_3= pigment {..}

#declare Mandel_X1= 
pigment {..
  Mandel_3
  pigment_map {
    [0.0 Mandel_1] 
    [0.1 color ... ] 
  }
}

#declare Mandel_Final= 
pigment {..
  Mandel_2
  pigment_map {
    [0.0 Mandel_X1] 
    [0.1 color ... ] 
  }
}
