For my opinion, keep reading.

I don't see any rules that limit the number of independent extensions/appendages that may be part of a robot, as long as no more than one of them extends beyond the frame perimeter at one time.
Yes there is absolutely nothing preventing you from having more than one appendage, as long as only one extends beyond frame perimeter at a time. After all, that is precisely how G21 is worded. However, if you need an "appendage" to consist of two more or less separate extensions leaving the frame perimeter at the same time, but that are always powered and used together, with code or mechanically, where is the line drawn for determining if that is 1 or 2 (or more) "appendages" per G21? Waiting on something from the Q&A for that one.
