You cannot have all your stock transactions in one register.  Well,
could if you did:

  Brokerage : Stocks : { StockA, StockB, StockC, ... }

and then used File -> Open Subaccounts on the Brokerage:Stocks account..
But I don't think that's what you're asking.

You cannot do this at all..  You'd lose which brokerage owns
which set of stock.

Nope.

Nope.  An account only has a single owner.  And each account can
only hold a single commodity.
