The difference here is you have to know what kind of authority you're querying. So you'll need to do names, subjects, etc. separately, whereas for the lccn query, it's straight-up lccn.
Working from a simple list:
names: for lccn in nb2015017302 n89223874; do curl http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/$lccn.madsrdf.rdf -o $lccn.rdf; sleep 3; done
subjects: for lccn in sh2016002835 sh86003754; do curl http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/$lccn.madsrdf.rdf -o $lccn.rdf; sleep 3; done
Separate lccns with a single space. BE SURE TO CHECK WHETHER YOU'RE DOING NAME, SUBJECT, ETC.

name = /names/
subject = /subjects/
other things will have their own too...

If it gets longer, consider making a full bash script, as below:
#!/bin/bash
for lccn in nb2015017302 n89223874 n82203435 n2017074015
do
  curl http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/$lccn.madsrdf.rdf -o $lccn.rdf
  sleep 3
done
