If he said: On my oath I will not eat, and then he ate wheat bread and barley bread and spelt bread, he is liable to bring only one offering. If he said: On my oath I will not eat wheat bread or barley bread or spelt bread, and then he ate all of them, he is liable to bring an offering for each and every one.
שְׁבוּעָה שֶׁלֹּא אֹכַל, וְאָכַל פַּת חִטִּין וּפַת שְׂעֹרִין וּפַת כֻּסְּמִין, אֵינוֹ חַיָּב אֶלָּא אַחַת. שְׁבוּעָה שֶׁלֹּא אֹכַל פַּת חִטִּין וּפַת שְׂעֹרִין וּפַת כֻּסְּמִין, וְאָכַל, חַיָּב עַל כָּל אַחַת וְאֶחָת:

Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Shevuos Perek 3 Mishnah 3
שבועות פרק ג׳ משנה ג׳
If he said: On my oath I will not drink, and then he drank several kinds of liquids, he is liable to bring only one offering. If he said: On my oath I will not drink wine or oil or honey, and then he drank all of them, he is liable to bring an offering for each and every one.
שְׁבוּעָה שֶׁלֹּא אֶשְׁתֶּה וְשָׁתָה מַשְׁקִין הַרְבֵּה, אֵינוֹ חַיָּב אֶלָּא אַחַת. שְׁבוּעָה שֶׁלֹּא אֶשְׁתֶּה יַיִן וָשֶׁמֶן וּדְבַשׁ וְשָׁתָה, חַיָּב עַל כָּל אַחַת וְאֶחָת:
Bartenura
שבועה שלא אשתה יין ושמן ודבש – In the Gemara (Tractate Shevuot 23b) it establishes it as, for example, when his fellow urges him and says to him: “Come and drink with me wine, oil and honey. He should have said to him an oath that he I would not drink with you and nothing further. For when he took an oath, why did he urge him that I will take an oath regarding wine, oil and honey.” We learn from it that he comes to allot/assign (i.e., to divide).
שבועה שלא אשתה יין ושמן ודבש. בגמרא מוקי לה כגון שהיה חברו מסרב בו ואומר לו בא ושתה עמי יין ושמן ודבש. היה לו לומר שבועה שלא אשתה עמך ותו לא, דכי אשתבע, אמאי דמסרב בו אשתבע, יין ושמן ודבש למה לי, שמע מינה לחלק:

חייב על כל אחת ואחת – for since he stated, “bread” and “bread of each and every species,” one learns from it to allot/assign, for if it is to prohibit upon him these species and no others, he would have had to state, bread [made from] wheat, and similarly that of barley and that of spelt.
