Hey there!
I find myself wondering about multiverse theorems and given I cannot understand the mathematics involved, I am curious as to whether or not the mathematics rules out the possibility of there being an otherwise googolplex of universes (Instead of an infinite number) and also if these universes could differ in size and perhaps even orbit one another.

Do proofs of multiverse theorems hold up in all the multiverses?

Is there a Superverse which contains all multiverses, and if so are there Multi-Superverses?

If there's an infinity in a circle and there's many numbers before and after pi... could there be other meaningful numbers in there?

Could there be an entirely consistent and logical universe somewhere within 3.142......

that isn't ours ..?

Hilbert's lost conjecture is rumored to have concerned the circle of complex numbers a+bi where a^2 + b^2 = pi. i.e. Complex numbers with modulus pi. Friends of Hilbert said he sometimes disappeared for days while working on the conjecture. The story goes he finally destroyed all his working papers on it, claiming it was too dangerous to release in his time. However, it's also said that he left clues to it in his other work.

What? Why?

@OP: Im almost certain there would be, currently at least, no way of verifing nor falsifing any given multiverse theory.

Maybe there's a parallel 2020 where the rona never happened.

I'm going to assume no, but I dont know the answer.

Assuming the answer is yes, how could you tell them apart?

Set theory might be helpful in understanding how multiverse is not a theory but rather a word used by people who want to laser-etch adds into your eyeballs and people who have already been etched, but no one else.
