Nested landmarks aren't disallowed. You see that often with navigation
landmarks inside of banner landmarks. Or even navigation inside of
navigation.

Complementary inside a complementary might be a little weird, but if they
have aria-labels, it could be ok.

My original answer was from an html validation perspective. It's valid.
The original question didn't specify if they were looking for "is this
allowed" or "is this a good idea".
