If I am reading the code of the `command-line-1' function correctly,
then this is not currently possible.  This function runs:

  (if (= file-count 1)
      (setq first-file-buffer (find-file file))
    (find-file-other-window file)))

so if there are multiple filename arguments it will unconditionally call
`find-file-other-window'.
