Racks - Clearer display for devices that span multiple units

When a device occupies 2 or more U, the rack view repeats the full device title in every unit it occupies. This makes it hard to tell whether you're looking at one multi-U device or several separate 1U devices with the same or similar names. It would be great to have multi-U devices shown as one merged block across the units they occupy. Alternatively, the first unit could carry the title and the rest use different wording (e.g. "continued" or "occupied by [device]").

A merged block matches how a physical rack looks and how most rack elevation diagrams show multi-U equipment. It would also make utilization easier to read at a glance.
