It's possible with 1.3.3 :
just enter General Research Libraries division | National Libraries 
Section (with a | as separator) in the $b subfield.

This one is a true nightmare !
In fact, at the moment, you can't enter such a schema.
The only way to do this it to "reorder" fields and use the | separator.
In a future version, we could add a way to "duplicate" a field in the 
GUI. Note it's most a GUI problem than a DB one. The db should manage it 
without problems.

Hope this Helps
