Several seppukus for a single action

Seppuku reaction says: Reaction: Any number of times per turn, before you lose Honor from an action that targeted or was performed by one of your Courtier or Samurai Personalities: He commits seppuku. If the seppuku destroyed him, reduce the Honor loss to one.

Assuming the action in question was performed by two samurai or courtiers, or was performed by one and targeted another (eg Coward! being played on defense and choosing not to move), would it be legal to commit seppuku with both personalities (That is, two seppukus)?

Yes, you may.

After the first seppuku, you're still at the timepoint where you can react to "Before you lose Honor" and the trigger of you losing Honor still exists.

This is assuming your opponent does nothing to invalidate the trigger at his opportunity to react to "Before" you "lose Honor" that occurs between your first Seppuku reaction and your second.
