Are multiple substitute motions allowed?

I take the situation to be that a motion M is pending, a member moves to substitue S1, and the motion to amend is then voted down. So now M is again pending, and a member moves to substitute S2. If I have that right, it is in order to move to substitute S2. Failed amendments do not change the parliamentary posture. It is not in order to have two substitutes pending at the same time, but that isn't the situation here.

There can be a substitute as the primary amendment and a substitute for the substitute as the secondary amendment. See 12:69 and 12:69n6.

Both are pending, although only the 2⁰ amendment is immediately pending.

That would be a solid amendment in the U.S., but if you're using the weird temperature scale that Canada and the rest of the world prefer, it may have melted. 

No, I read that 2⁰ as two to the zeroeth power, which equals 1.

The temperature scale would be 2°C. Note the subtle difference between ° and ⁰.
