I don't think so. If both of these fouls occurred during the same dead ball period and assuming you're marking a full 15 years for both infractions, you still have 3/4 from the original line of scrimmage.

Penalize B 15 yards. Penalize A 15 yards. Then reset the stakes if necessary.

A would only get a get a first down if they made the line to gain after enforcement of both penalties.
Each penalty is administered separately and in the order of occurance. Part of that administration is determining if a foul by B gives team A a first down.

A new series is awarded:

After a first, second or third down, a new series of downs shall be awarded only after considering the effect of any act during the down and any dead-ball foul by B.
