William, playing multiple notes in the same breath is the same as on all woodwinds. You don't get a new attack on each one.
The main things with recorder are differences in vibrato (or no vibrato) and the three basic tonguings - although there's also tickatickaticka and doodledoodledoodle for repeated notes, plus variations of all of the above.
Incidentally, the dynamic range at the bottom of the instrument is practically nonexistent, especially low C# (F# on an alto), since you have to blow "just so" to get a good tone.
I have seen a chin-activated lever that opens a small hole in the recorder. The idea is that it lowers the pitch to compensate when you play harder, giving you a little more dynamic range without getting way out of tune. But that's rare enough that I've only seen one, and I don't know whether it works with lower notes.
