Description
#### Steps to reproduce the issue
1. Go to Posts > Add New on a site that's connected to WordPress.com.
2. Insert a gallery. When selecting images, you have the option to upload from external sources.
3. Once you've inserted that first gallery, however, you cannot add more media from external sources: you only have the option to your Media library.

Research direction
Start in Posts > Add New by reproducing the gallery media-selection flow described in the issue. Compare the picker for the first gallery with the picker when adding to an existing gallery; done means external-source options such as Pexels or Google are available in both cases.
