Is saying 「XはYは…」 acceptable?


In いっすんぼうし, a very popular fairy tale, this line appears:

> **だいじんは からだは** ちいさいけれど げんきな  
>  いっすんぼうしを たいそう きにいり  
>  じぶんの いえで はたらかせることにしました。

Is 「だいじんは からだは」 grammatically correct? What would be done to make this more
correct?




The sequence 体は小さいけれど元気な serves as an adjectival block which modifies
[一寸法師]{いっすんぼうし}. 体は小さいけれど元気な一寸法師 is object of the verb 気に入り, in turn.
[大臣]{だいじん}(は) is its subject. So, the whole sentence has kind of a nested
structure, and the two は belong to different levels respectively.
