Only one task can be clocked at a time using the standard org-mode clocking functions. If you clock in a task any existing clocked task is closed first. ie. clock taskA, switch to taskB, clock in taskB (stops the clock for taskA) In your example above the clock times for the subtasks are totalled to give the total time for the parent task when you do C-c C-x C-d or generate a clock report.
