Can multiple grounding conductor be pulled in a single conduit?

We have an application where a single (main) conduit will be tapped into multiple enclosure via Tee-conduit bodies and we intend to daisy-chain grounding conductor between the enclosure. This would result in a smaller section of the conduit i.e. between Tee-conduit body and a given enclosure to have 2 grounding conductors before they part ways to the next enclosure on the main conduit run. is there anything in NEC that prevents you from doing that?

P.S: Customer specification states: "Only one equipment grounding conductor shall be run in each conduit and be the largest size required for any circuit routed in that conduit"

As far as the NEC is concerned you can install as many EGC's as you want in a raceway.
