Acceptable, usual to write $\ge 2$ pipes simultaneously?

−1

I'm NOT asking for the solution to this exercise that's publicly accessible. Rather, pls see the green and red underlines. If I apply the author's green definition to the red underline, then $\tilde P({\color{red}{L \mid M_2}}) \equiv P(\color{red}{L \mid M_2} \quad \color{limegreen}{\mid M_1})$.

Is it natural or wont to write $\ge 2$ Conditional Probability pipes simultaneously?

As has been mentioned to you before, you should inline relevant text rather than or in addition to using an image. Ideally, you should inline it so that there is no benefit to an image, but if you are really concerned about transcription errors or are unable to reproduce some notation, then including the image in addition to a best-effort textual representation is an option. As is, your question is completely unanswerable to a visually impaired readers since critical information is only available in the image.

In a similar vein, you should avoid using only color to distinguish between things, especially the colors red and green, as color blindness is not uncommon and red-green color blindness is the most common form. An alternative would be to use dashed, dotted, and solid lines to differentiate. Of course, if you inline the text, you can simply say what you mean without needing these underlines avoiding the problem entirely.
