Okrand has never changed any rule, but sometimes made additions.

He did in KGT, somehow, in the chapter "Intentional ungrammaticality":

"some speakers seem to want to put the two concepts into a single word, 
and, on rare occasion, they will do so. Rather than violating the rules 
by using the two suffixes sequentially (that is, {-lu’laH} or 
{-laHlu’}), however, these speakers will say either {-luH} or {-la’}"
