Yes, --no-parent.

It's slightly more complicated in your case because the patches aren't
threaded to the first patch/cover letter, but you can choose an arbitrary
msgid upthread and tell b4 to ignore anything that came before it. E.g.:

b4 am -o/tmp --no-parent 20221108194139.57604-1-torvalds@linux-foundation.org
