Is it just a "must be present" check, or are you interested in  
specific values? Yes, you could combine separate Rules, or you could  
put this in one Condition, or you could have a Target like

   <Subjects
     <Subject
       <SubjectMatch
         <SubjectAttributeDesignator SubjectCategory="subject1"
       </SubjectMatch
       <SubjectMatch
         <SubjectAttributeDesignator SubjectCategory="subject2"

It's up to you. You treat attributes from multiple subjects exactly  
as you do multiple attributes from a single subject, just including  
the category info.
