Is this what you're referring to? Lucene supports single and multiple character wildcard searches within single terms (not within phrase queries). (from http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/queryparsersyntax.html)
I'm pretty sure you can have multiple *terms* with wildcards. Luke is your friend here, download a copy and try it <G>. Be sure on the search tab to specify StandardAnalyzer or some such, rather than keywordanalyzer. The phrase is trying to point out that a phrase query does NOT respect wildcards. That is, submitting "ab* bc* cd*" AS A PHRASE QUERY won't do what you expect. But I'm pretty sure that +field:ab* +field:bc* +field:cd* will work just fine. The key here is "within single terms", which I think of as "within a single term query". You can add as many TermQuerys as you want. See the query documentation for how to submit phrase queries.
