Can adjectives in Japanese "stack" like in English?
From what I've seen in even the easier-to-read newspapers and heard in various
shows, it is allowable to stack adjectives like that. Although, the case may
be that they are more colloquial.

Also, there are two ways to go about I-adjectives:

  1. あそこの面白い、背が高い人は誰？
  2. あそこの面白く、背が高い人は誰？

The second case is a mid form of ～くて and is frequently found in writing.

answer
Can they stack? Yes.

頭がよくて、綺麗な彼女が欲しい。 綺麗な、頭がいい彼氏が欲しい。

But the more you stack, the heavier the sentence goes. Don't hesitate to break
the sentence if you reach three.
