Say I get a monoblock on one dish pointing to 19 and 13e, then another dish at 28e, is it possible to combine these together?

The monoblocks have a built in disceq so only 1 wire?

It's not possible to do that unless you run two cables into the house and introduce a non-DiSEqC switch at that point.

It is possible to chain DiSEqC switches, but they have to be of the cascadeable variety, and the one in your monobloc won't be.

Your solutions is to not have a monoblock, but two single LNBs. Then you just feed those two and your other dish into a four-way DiSEqC switch outdoors.
