There was only one Statement in that CFI, but it was the conjunction of
multiple clauses.

Saying:
Statement: Snow is white. Grass is green.
is no different than saying:
Statement: 1. Snow is white. 2. Grass is green.
or:
Statement: Snow is white; grass is green.
or:
Statement: Snow is white and grass is green.
etc.

I think here the intent is clear that for any of these Statements to be
true, snow has to be white and grass has to be green. I can CFI this if
I need to, but it shouldn't be necessary if Dave agrees.

Those are all different from:
Statement: Snow is white
Statement 2: Grass is green

Otherwise, the Statement of a CFI would have to consist of only a single clause.
