You can nominate several attorneys and specify the circumstances in which they act. For example, someone might nominate their spouse and children as attorneys, but they could specify that the spouse was to act alone unless the spouse required assistance as to making a decision, or if the decision has significant financial implications, or the spouse had become mentally incapacitated. Even then the donor (person making the LPA) could further specify that the children were to act together, or one solely. Given the cost of LPAs, it is best to, as you would in a Will, give a few options, and a solicitor would advise when making an LPA.
