CPP Survivor Benefit?

If someone gets married twice in their older years, can one collect 2 survivor benefits from CPP if they both pass?

You will only receive one survivor's pension - the larger of the two -  if you have been widowed more than once. Please see page 7 of the Canada Pension Plan, Survivor Benefit's Guide here - https://publications.gc.ca/collections/collection_2016/servcan/MP90-3-1-2-1997-eng.pdf.
