SQD typically has the means for 2 conductor termination:
There are other manufacturers as well who do. The best way to identify which CBers do or do not permit more than one conductor is to read the instructions.
If you are not sure, you could alway splice the conductors in the panel enclosure and then terminate the single conductor to the CBer.

The only ones I'm sure accept two conductors are QO and CH, for sizes 14 thru 10.

Actually it is the QO & HOM 15-30A devices that accept (2) #14-10AWG.
