The thing I don't like about this, is that it gives an advantage to Team A in every instance of offsetting PF or USC fouls after a play (assuming B got the 1st penalty). Doesn't seem fair (and I'm sure someone will say these fould aren't really offsetting, but consecutive, which I suppose is technically true). It just FEELS wrong.
But by the book, this is the right way to enforce.

The really ugly one is where the B penalty is enforced half-the-distance and the A penalty is then fifteen yards back from that spot.

You're absolutely right. We had this last week, and it got my mind thinking. It was 1st and 10 from Bs 20 1/2. Incomplete pass with USC on each team afterward. Penalize B just over 10 yards for 1/2 the distance, giving A a first down in the process. Then back A up 15 yards.
We ended up giving A a first down, but costing them 5 yards in the process. It was hard to explain, but the entire crew came together and decided it was the correct way to enforce. But explaining it to coaches wasn't fun at all.
