This already runs two commands:
1. execute=mv,-u,$d.get_base_path=,$d.get_custom1=
2. d.set_directory=$d.get_custom1=

Adding a third will work just as well.

That should be fine too, although then the order of execution with  
respect to other on_finished entries is not guaranteed[*], i.e. this  
command might be run before or after the move_complete commands. But  
as long as you use $d.get_base_path= here instead of a hardcoded  
path, it might not matter.

[*] Currently they will be processed in alphabetical order of the  
tags, but I don't know if that might change in the future.

Not a problem. You have five custom vars.
