I think that this is another case of unclear writing - the second statement is poorly written and misleading but entirely wrong The first statement is from the section on casting spells the Adept knows individually. The second is from the section about casting spells from a Grimoire.

So I think the prohibition in the second example only applies when casting spells from the Grimoire (i.e. using the Grimoire ability which would involve using the same ability multiple times). Spells that an Adept knows individually can be cast individually (not using the Grimoire) as per the first statement.
