Just have the offer valid until the offerer rescinds it. The offerie would just have one notification of "opponent offered draw" and the offerer would have the option to recind; if they converted the position they'd have to remember to do so.
Of course trolls would still offer-recind-offer-recind..... but it be more blatant of an offense and an official rule against multiple offers would be reasonable in this system.
The rules of chess don't allow it.
Under the rules, a draw offer is valid until accepted or rejected, or until a move is made.
