I don't know what a saffire is, but firewire devices are designed to be dasiy chained as you propose,

From memory (I have a Saffire pro 26 io but haven't used it in a long time) the interface actually has a spot on it to select the saffire device you want to configure, so I would imagine they would handle daisy chaining fine. One good thing is that the firewire bus should provide clock sync so you shouldn't need to use external word clocks etc.
