Lou can comment better, but in P4 the editors certainly had the facility,
and used it, to make multiple distinct examples. So the working assumption must
be that when you have an exemplum with multiple children, the author
intended it to be a valid free-standing example.

I looked  at a trivial one, <sponsor>, surely that is intentionally
multiple elements?
