I actually asked this specific question to the concierges last week in Montreal and they told me that the system will recognize a SE2MM over SEMM, but that the boarding pass will only show MM and not 2MM 
I will ask again in a few hours the Hong Kong concierges upon my departure.

Ask for your onload priority code.
It's going to be K**SM or KO**SM depending on whether or not you have a connection (which is also why people used to think "connections have higher priority" - it shows in the priority code, even though it's not taken into account).
That's the same as a 1MM or a 3MM.
I would be K**SE or KO**SE.
On another matter, I actually almost made a new EYW shirt this year with just KO**SE on it, but it was suggested to me that not even the GAs would get it

IIRC pax who'd successfully upgraded on segment 1 had a higher upgrade priority for segment 2 vs. if they had just booked that segment.

I think that assumption was based on the fact that someone connecting to a flight can potentially have a lower sequence number than someone originating with that same flight, since the first person is able to check-in earlier.

Use a SWU for a SSUW upgrade days
leaving the cert in your bag in case the GA doesn't ask for it
Getting the more often, especially for overseas trips.
They were good times

Talk about FOTSG questions. This will be my first time trying to use eUps for a flight that is R0, I usually travel so last-minute that I'll pick the flights with positive R space.
So, if my flight is in 8 days, and it's J9 R0, do I just request it now, and hope for a pleasant surprise at the gate, or is there any particular strategy to this? If I don't get the upgrade until the gate, how is the co-pay handled?
SYD-YVR, I'm currently booked in PE.
