What is the ruling if a husband varies the conjunctions in his divorce pronouncements, such as "You are divorced and divorced, then divorced"?

Primary text
If a husband varies the conjunctions, saying, "You are divorced and (wa) divorced, then (thumma) divorced," or "divorced then (thumma) divorced and (wa) divorced," or similar variations, the intention of emphasis is not accepted for any of the pronouncements. This is because every word is differentiated from the preceding one by differing in its connecting particle, and emphasis is only achieved by the exact repetition of the initial form.
