Yes, those are "odd", and as previously noted, the strings you're quoting above are comprised of extracted & concatenated-with-space-separators CN values that Ivan "smooshed" all together into one column ("subjectCommonName") in his database table.

[If folks want to poke at the data themselves, request it from Ivan

fyi/fwiw, I count 946 certs in the dbase with more than one "CN" AVA in the subject DN, out of a total of 867361, so << 1%.

WRT "Duplicate instances of the same AVA at both ends of the DN...", perhaps RobS can provide some rationale for this practice?

Yes, they obviously aren't backing their CA databases with an X.500-based directory. I suspect hardly anyone (or even no-one) does so.
