So 'Many (tickets) to one (PNR)'. I didn't think it could be done the other way.
These conjuncted tickets are considered one ticket. Even today, an "e-ticket" can still only have 4 "coupons," one for each flight, and any open-jaw counts as one. E-tickets still retain all the fields and structure from paper tickets. You will frequently still have xxx xxxxxxxx00-03 or something like this as your e-ticket number.

Yes, it is possible to have more than one set of conjuncted tickets in one PNR. However, it is against most airlines' rule to issue different tickets across married segments. For example, if TPE-HKG-CGK is booked together and HKG is a transit, you can't have TPE-HKG on one ticket and HKG-CGK on another.
