What I'm unclear of, and seek your attempts at helping me to understand more fully, is the application of that in view of the statement found in 10-6-rule 10 Summary point 7., which states, "In case of a...false multiple foul, each foul carries its own penalty."

What penalty, if any, is issued or carried out for the first foul committed? The reward of the ball OB seems to have been negated by the consequence of the second foul. My reason says, clear the lane for the 1 and 1, then return to the previous spot to administer an OB opportunity merited by the first of the two fouls committed.
In case of a false multiple foul, each foul carries its own penalty does not mean that B gets the ball back. There's nothing in the rules that supports that. You simply move to the next penalty.

Let's say the first foul is the 5th team foul and the next is the 6th team foul. Are you going to give the ball to B for two throw-ins? Of course not.

Would that be the order of things if the second foul was committed after the ball was put at the disposal of the thrower, but not before, perhaps?
I gave you that ruling when I changed your original play above.

Let's changed the play again.

The first foul is the 7th team foul. Now, B1 goes to the line for 1 & 1. While the ball is at B1's disposal, A2 fouls B2. Now, you clear the lane and B1 shoots his 1 & 1 with no one on the lane. THen, B2 shoots his 1 & 1 as normal.

BTW, when offering plays, A should always be offense and B is always defense.
