offered us a canon example that has two adverbials and has never given us
advice on their use. It’s not so much that we can’t do it as it is that we
don’t know that we can. We do know that when we would have expected two
adjectives applied to a noun, Okrand changed one of them to a relative
clause, likely to avoid the issue, and we’ve seen him use multiple relative
clauses in the example you cite below.

When I asked about the topic of multiple adverbials a few years ago, I was
given a few examples from the paq'batlh:

Felix Malmenbeck wrote on 4/23/13:

1)  From paq'batlh, paq'raD, Canto 8, Stanza 11:

jatlh ‘e’ mevDI’ qeylIS, lop
chaq tugh batlh Heghmo’
‘ej chaq tugh charghmo’

After Kahless's words, they celebrate,
For they may soon die with honor!
For they may soon be victorious!

Another example is from paq'batlh, paq'raD, Canto 17, Stanza 11:

reH batlh SuvtaHjaj chaH

Let endless battle and honor await them!

...and another, in paq'batlh, paq'raD, Canto 23, Stanza 3:

Hay’chu’ luneHqu’
vaj pe’vIl joqqu’
cha’ tlhIngan tIqDu’

Both Klingon hearts beat,
At their strongest,
In lust for blood.

...and I believe there are plenty more examples.
