If a weather situation warrants two or more
types of warnings to be in effect at the same
time, a general term
like “Winter storm warning” is encouraged to avoid the confusion of multiple warning types
being carried at the same time. However, if no single warning type can describe a
situation, a maximum of two types of warnings or watches may be combined in the same
statement. In this case, the terms “Warning” or
“Watch” shall be used in the singular
identifying the situation as one warning. For example:
Rainfall and wind
warning for:
Calgary.

2. If I understand the question correctly, a single warning would not cover separate and distinct events. A warning could, as an example, have an effective period covering multiple severe thunderstorms, but would not cover, say, two separate high wind events if these resulted from separate meteorological events.
I hope that answers the questions.
