Is it possible to grammatically combine two separate sentences
Xがverb。Yがverb。into just one sentence Xが、Yが、verb。? For example,

> 料理ができる。掃除ができる。→ 料理が、掃除が、できる。

My original motivation is to understand the role of が in the more complex
sentence:

> ただ喜びと悲しみのあいだにある多くの事象 **が** 、その互いの位置関係みたいなもの **が** 、まだうまく見きわめられなかっただけだ。(村上
> 春樹. 一人称単数 (Japanese Edition) (Kindle Locations 23-25)

I found many questions regarding multiple use of the が particle in a sentence
but to the best of my knowledge they concern the case in which one of the が is
on a relative clause which I think it is not the case here.

question
particle-が
noun が、noun が、verb (multiple が in a sentence)
What you have suggested is possible. Murakami's sentence is an example of
right-node raising explained here:

  * [Use of first が in 町の後ろに山が、前に海があって、](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/17743/5010)

But usually you should not do this in a simple sentence like 「料理が、掃除ができる」.
This sounds unnecessarily literary or even theatrical to me. This might be
fine in lyrics or as a catchphrase of a robot, but in most cases you should be
saying 料理や掃除ができる or 料理と掃除ができる instead.
