Is it permissible for several congregations with different imams to pray at the same time in a rest and service area (R&R) surau?

The text given says the problem of multiple imams at R&R suraus partly stems from confusion over the rules of combining and shortening prayers.

Summary
The text given says the problem of multiple imams at R&R suraus partly stems from confusion over the rules of combining and shortening prayers. A traveller who finds a congregational prayer in progress should join it. If he joins from the start and the imam prays the full prayer, he prays in full until the end. If he joins late behind an imam praying in full, he completes the prayer in full. The text provided ends before giving a full ruling on simultaneous prayers led by two imams.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sekiranya seseorang yang bermusafir itu masuk ke dalam surau R&R dan mendapati terdapatnya solat berjamaah yang sedang didirikan, hendaklah dia mengikuti solat berjamaah tersebut meskipun dia sedang bermusafir.
