Second - I spent 42+ yrs in LE including 27 yrs at the state level. Illegal combination is a commonly written cite. The usual violation is over length and illegal 2nd trailer such as pulling a 2nd car/Jeep behind a 5er.
A few years back a retired LEO from the mid-west posted he had once stopped someone using a pickup to pull three trailers!
Used to be a cotton farmer down in Yuma that would pull up to 4 fully loaded cotton trailers, using a "farmer's pin hitch", each trailer weighing about 8,000 lbs, down I-8 at 60 mph. He'd pull EIGHT empties back to his farm at 60-70 mph. My dad knew the guy and actually saw him do it at some point in time. :-)
