[Herman] L26A does apply to more than one suit! It says so!
So if 4D shows spades and (singleton) diamond, there is a L26A lead
penalty on those two suits. That means that one can prohibit spades,
diamonds, or both, but not hearts or clubs. it also means one can
demand spades or diamonds. The law does not say that one can or cannot
demand both spades and diamonds, because that would be impossible anyway.

AG : I'm a bit embarrassed about the "or both" part. The French version of 
the law explicitly says "the specified suit (or one of the specified 
suits)", whence no combined prohibition is possible.
