Oh sure. I'm not saying that an SAO isn't two sentences. It clearly is.
I'm saying that it's a sentence composed of sentences. It's both one
sentence and two.

Since a verb using a sentence as object creates a new sentence, I think
it's very clear that such a SAO-sentence can be the SAO in another sentence.

{targh HoH vav DaneH 'e' vIyaj net Sov.}
One knows that I understand you want your father to kill the targ.

[[[[targh HoH vav] DaneH] 'e' vIyaj] net Sov.]
[[[[the father kills the targ] you want that] I understand that] one
knows it]

But now add an adverbial to each sentence.

That sounds like a true challenge. Theoretically, it should be nested like macros do in software, but that would look very strange:

{reH targh HoH vav}
"father always kills targ"

DaH {reH targh HoH vav} 'e' vISov
Now I know that "father always kills targ"

I'm not sure that is based on anything canon.
