Among nonsmokers , birth control pills slightly raise a woman 's risk of abnormal blood clotting , high blood pressure , heart attack , and stroke .
(birth control pills; slightly raise a woman 's risk of abnormal blood clotting , high blood pressure , heart attack , and stroke among; nonsmokers)

The relation phrase in this case is jam-packed. It should probably be broken up into pieces, separating each conjunction. I can't come up with an example when this is invalid.

As a part of Jeff Bowden 's agreement with Florida State and Seminole Boosters , Inc. , he will receive an $107,500 annually , or $537,000 total , through August 2012 from the Booster club .
(he, will receive from, the Booster club)

After the release of her album and a guest-appearance with Gang Starr alongside Kurupt in 1998 , Rage left Death Row Records and the music industry generally to focus on acting , appearing in an episode of Kenan & Kel .
(Rage; left; Death Row Records and the music industry)

There are two dobjs in these examples because of the conjunction. Each should be handled separately. Some sentences have two dobjs without a conjunction. In this case, I have found it best to exclude all dobjs.

This would redefine the expansion stage to expand a single match into multiple extractions.

When the arg2 has a conjunction, it can't always be broken up. For example, consider:

Michael sat between Rob and Niranjan.
