To reiterate the basic rule, if one ride by definition is completed within another, we only issue one certificate. For example, everyone who completes a BBG has by definition also completed a Saddlesore 1000 and a Bun Burner 1500. So we would only issue the BBG cert.
On the other hand, one can complete a Bun Burner 1500 without necessarily completing a Saddlesore 1000 (e.g., one completes the first 1,000 miles in 25 hours but 1,500 miles in 36 hours). So we could issue both certs.
That is the kind of analysis you need to go through for the rides you have in mind.
