In þar á milli, the complement of milli, that is þar, moves to Spec position of the higher PP:
(IP-SUB (NP-SBJ *con*)
(VBDI fór-fara)
(PP (ADVP-1 (ADV þar-þar))
(P á-á)
(PP (P milli-milli) (ADVP *ICH*-1)))))))))
Second PP idomsonly P if milli takes no complement (see similar treatment of Á MEÐAN):
( (IP-MAT (CONJ og-og) (VBDI fór-fara) (NP-SBJ (NPR-N Sigríður-sigríður)) (PP (P á-á) (PP (P milli-milli))) (. ,-,)))
If there were only one P involved, then the PP would be parsed as postpositional, parallel to "darüber" in German or "there about" in the English corpora as below:
(PP (ADV there) (P aboute))
ÞESS Á MILLI
(PP (NP-1 (PRO-G þess-það)) (P á-á) (PP (P millum-milli) (NP *ICH*-1)))
