I'm not sure what the initial question was, but these examples do not 
show a real answer, in my opinion. All of the multiple adverbials are 
actually time stamps plus adverb, so not really "TWO" adverbs.
The only rule we can see here, is that time stamps come first:

{tugh batlh Heghmo’}
"soon he dies with honor"

{reH batlh SuvtaHjaj chaH}
"they always fight with honor"

I don't see two adverbials here, unless you see vaj as one, which I see 
more as a conjunction:

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

Any examples with true aderbials or adverbs of the same type??
