In this paper a study is made of the infinitely reducible prepotential gauge symmetry recently found in the unconstrained BRST approach to Yang-Mills theory. This symmetry has an associated set of 'BRST for BRST' transformations. The unconstrained BRST approach is applied to these, and constraints upon the field strengths of suitable gauge fields are shown to yield the BRST for BRST rules. The unconstrained BRST approach in fact applies {ital ad infinitum}, and the authors give the general form of the gauge-invariant Yang-Mills action in terms of appropriate prepotentials.
