An advanced, but efficient, way is to use spiral asking bids.
You rank all the remaining honour cards (except the 4 or 5
aces) in a predefined sequence, and assign each of these
honour cards to a corresponding asking bid, starting with
lowest available bid to lowest ranked honour. Then the
answer sequence goes:
1st step - no, I don't have the card you're asking for
2nd step - yes, I have the card, but I do not have the next one
3rd step - yes, I have the two first cards, but not the third one
etc.
Using RKCB Blackwood the normal way of ranking the 15 remaining
honour cards are:
1 - Q of trumph (if not already shown)
2 - K of partners longest suit (lowest if none shown)
3 - K of partners second longest suit (second lowest)
4 - K of partners shortest suit (highest)
5 - Q of partners longest suit (lowest if none shown)
etc.

(as an extreme example) after 1S-(3c)-4S-(P) the bidding would
continue:
4NT RKCB
--5D 1 ace
5H Spiral for QS, KC, KD, KH, ..
--5NT QS, no KC
6D Spiral for KH, QC, QD, QH, ..
--6S KH, no QC
7S/7NT
PS: using RKCB with spiral asking bids is a _big_
advantage if you can start the the RKCB low.
Cuebidding is really much overused and only
relevant if you lack _exactly_ one ace. Far
better to reserve the lowest cuebid as RKCB.
