As you correctly note, the contents of the Subject: is split into
tokens. If the first token is not a command, the next is tried, but
that's as far as it goes.

The code is in Mailman/Queue/CommandRunner.py around line 134

            if not self.subjcmdretried and args:
                self.subjcmdretried += 1
                cmd = args.pop(0)
                return self.do_command(cmd, args)
