You could cram as much of that as you want into $_SESSION.

Or, after the first user, create the account, and record the fact that
any subsequent users are to be tied to that account_id, and simply
keep track of the account_id from then on, for as many users as they
want to add.

It would probably be MUCH easier and cleaner to just track the
account_id and re-use it than to try to do the inserts in one big mess
at the end.
