Yes to both.  It's not a perfect workaround by far, but thought it was
worth mentioning

You could something like CONCAT_WS(' BR ',IFNULL(ExtractValue(m.marcxml,'//
datafield[@tag="650"][position()=1]/subfield[@code="a"]',''),IFNULL
ExtractValue(m.marcxml,'//datafield[@tag="650"][
position()=2]/subfield[@code="a"]'),'')) to keep out extra BRs

I don't know of a way you can easily get around guessing on the number,
that seems to require creating a function like in the stack overflow link.
If someone does know how I would to know too ;-)
