Sure. Once you have one strap immobilized by any of the methods above, you can just run the second one under the pedal and around to the buckle, going over the toe clip if you have one or just over your foot if you don't. You can cross the two straps somewhere along the way so the front strap ends up going to the rear buckle and vice versa; sometimes this makes them work a bit better. Depending on how a rider's foot fits the pedal, if there's a toe clip I'll sometimes zip-tie the second strap to the top of the toe clip. Or I'll have them cross over on top of the foot and zip-tie that connection as well. Basically as long as it's an integrated double strap, the second strap tends to stay next to the first one.
If you really want to be obsessive, you can attach two toe clip loops under the same bolt, one pointing forwards and one backwards (or one pointing backwards a little bit and the other doing the same but far enough back to clear the first one). You can also use a piece of stainless strip from a hardware or hobby shop and make a double-ended fastener that holds both toe straps. We used to use perforated plumbers' strapping to do this as well. Kashimax also supplies a square of leather for each toe strap that has two pairs of slots in it; you thread both straps through it and it keeps them aligned. It's not hard to make one of these yourself to suit whatever straps you have.
