Does anyone use a large bundle of hadassim and two aravos?

As noted last time we discussed this coin, Bar Kochva only needed one
hadas and one aravah -- as he would follow shitas Rabbi Aqiva.

I know there are Chernoble descended Chassidim who have fancy baskets
for holding two pairs of aravos and three groups of three hadasim.

And there are qehillos (among Sepharadim, but I do not recall which,
Chabad too, no?) that have many aravos, and lay three hadasim beneath
them -- one on the left, one on the right, and one along the shedra.

Given the lack of a source for such a custom, I still go with the take
that it's a woven basket holding one hadas and one aravah.
