Not that I'd suggest or condone such behaviour, of course! Hadn't ever crossed my mind (so far) to bend the rules like that - my view is you abuse it and you risk losing it!

Having said that, I have asked very politely in the past in the ABZ lounge if I could guest in my mum and sister for a couple of journeys, and the answer has been a very generous yes.
The system (FLY) keeps a track in T5 of who your guest is.

No issue explicitly asking if you can take an extra guest - although the answer is very likely to be no at T5. However, guesting one person in and then 15 minutes later trying to guest another in is unlikely to work and is clearly an abuse as you note - it isn't worth trying.
