That is not the case:

extlang       = 3ALPHA              ; selected ISO 639 codes
                *2("-" 3ALPHA)      ; permanently reserved

This allows for 1-3 (extlang) subtags in an 'extlang'. We could do
without the second line, allowing just one subtag in an 'extlang'.

But at most one extlang is allowed in a 'language':

                ["-" extlang]       ; sometimes followed by
