That's not possible:

1. Subversion doesn't provide an API to do that
2. Multiple merges (merging again after a merge) doesn't always work.
    For example, if the first merge results in a conflicted file, and the
    second merge then tries to merge against that conflicted file -
    what should Subversion/TSVN do in such a case? You could end up
    with complete garbage in your files!
