1) what order would they clear in? both are in the same fare class with the same RPU status. ...
the third criteria is time of request. When done on a joint PNR the lowest ticket number is done first

interesting question, I'm going to guess it will not create a problem. It is inherent in a two person PNR that at least one is being sponsored and many have done this split when they were the sponsor (but the second passagner was sponsored) and have not been reports of issues.
