Does anyone know if you can cut one hole in a roof for a tubular skylight and branch a second tube off to an adjacent room(in my case for an interior half bath and a hallway)?

I'd call the manufacturer but I'd strngly suspect, based on the way the light travels in the tube you'd get very very little "output" on your secondary tube, and likely create problems on the first one...

It's been a while, and your budget counts for a lot, but I looked into fiber optic bundles. I was planning a central light well, with tubular pipes running from it to the various rooms instead of a bunch of plastic domes popping out of the roof all over the place. The fiber optic bundles would've transmitted the same amount of light through a smaller diameter tube. Actually had a line on surplus telephone glass fibers (cheaper is plastic)....
The central light well went away, and I have two bubbles sticking up through my roof.
Really like the skylights.
