Replace the error handler with this (untested) and it should work with
consecutive accented characters:

def latscii_error( uerr ):
	v = []
	for c in uerr.object[uerr.start:uerr.end]
		key = ord(c)
		try:
			v.append(unichr(decoding_map[key]))
		except KeyError:
			v.append(u"?")
	return (u"".join(v), uerr.end)
codecs.register_error('replacelatscii', latscii_error)
