Is that true? I feel dumb because I am sure I have watched games where a player was assessed with two separate penalties at once, but I don't recall how it normally plays out.
I don't know if it makes a difference or what scenario is more favorable to the team on the powerplay. I think I'd rather have a four minute double minor though.

Depends on the situation. If you’re trying to score, I’d take the 5v3. That’s why typically they will give up the puck as soon as possible. If you’re ahead late and trying to waste time, I’d rather have the 5v4 for more time.
One thing I don’t understand is why coincidental penalties sometimes results in a 4v4 and sometimes in a 5v5.
