That's because it is two separate fouls.
PLAY:
B1 fouls A1.
A1 goes to the line for 2 FTs.
(a) During either FT, A2 fouls B2.
(b) During either FT, B2 fouls A2.
RULING:
(a) False double foul. A2 has committed a foul after B1 fouled but before the clock re-started.
(b) False multiple foul. B2 has committed a foul after A1 fouled but before the clock re-started.
THE DIFFERENCE:
Double fouls and flase double fouls occur when a member from each team fouls.
Multiple fouls and multiple fouls occur when members of the same team commit fouls.
