I re-read Chapter 11 before my original post and didn't come away
with a definitive answer (except the max limit for terminating wires
at a given terminal is 4). I think clocking the lugs so they don't
interfere with one another with a terminal boot over the lug on top
is probably the I'm going to go unless this is a violation of
acceptable practices.

Acceptable practices has more to do with mechanical
issues than anything else. First, can you stack all
the terminals on and STILL have full threads sticking
out the top of the nut? How stiff are your conductors?
22759-pry-bars or welding-wire-noodles? What style
contactors? Mil-spec 3/8? fine thread, indpendent
connection studs or Stancor-WH contactors with
5/16" coarse thread studs integral with the
contactor's stationary contacts?

Bob,
The contactor is a B&C S701-1, the 2AWG is welding wire, but the 4AWG wire is stiff 22579.

Okay, two terminals are fine. If the wires
need to come off the terminal in the same
direction, twist one conductor so that the
back sides of the terminal flags face each
other. No washers or extra nuts. Put the
wire lugs onto the terminal post and then
a brass nut.
