I don't think so, as realurl translates the complete parameter or 
nothing. your attempt would give you two parameters with same name.
(you might include my ext:pageparams to see what URL other extensions 
see: just an array of parameters and no pathes)

if you include realurl_conf.php in the plain-PHP way you see it is just 
a building of an array. this array can be build up static or with a 
little programming logic.
maybe this could be your solution:

$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['EXTCONF']['realurl'] = array (
	'_DEFAULT' => array (
		:
	)
);
$categoryNames = array(
	1 => 'cat1',
	5 => 'cat2',
	:
	50 => 'cat20',
);
$valueMap = array();
foreach ($categorynames as $catKey => $catVal) {
	$valueMap[$catVal] = $catkey;
	foreach ($categorynames as $catKey2 => $catVal2) {
		$valueMap[$catVal . ',' . $catVal2]  = $catkey . ',' . $catkey2;
	}
}

$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['EXTCONF']['realurl']['_DEFAULT']['preVars'][5] 
= array(
		'Getvar' => 'tx_news_pi1[overwriteDemand][categories]',	
		'valueMap' => $valueMap,
		#'valueDefault' => 'cat1',
		'noMatch' => 'bypass',
		);

?>

maybe you get the category names from database,
maybe you generate the 'static' array outside from TYPO3 and write a 
array dump to be included (for performance gains)
