Not only can multiple planes be cleared to use a runway: one to depart, one to land in this example, cleared to land in a sequence, but also:
Multiple landing planes are allowed on the same runway surface at the same time in the daytime as in Oshkosh arrivals, but also a Category I (light single) can be cleared to land if the Category I or II aircraft to follow will be 3000 feet from the threshold, a Cat II (light twin) behind a I or II with 4500 feet of separation.
