You can nest multiple quoted strings in a single line by escaping each new set of quotes with backslashes.

bind [key] "bind [key] \"[command/setting] [value]; bind [key] \\\"[command/setting] [value] \\\"\""

As the quoted strings go deeper, you also need to escape the backslash. Since each new layer will again un-escape them, you need to double the amount of backslashes per layer. The ~~third layer will require 3 backslashes,~~ the ~~4th will require 7, etc~~. If this is confusing to look at, try making a new line for each escaped quote to get a more clear visual idea of what's happening.

As the quoted strings go deeper, you also need to escape the backslash. Since each new layer will again un-escape them, you need to double the amount of backslashes per layer. The maximum amount of layers you can use is 5 before the console gives you an error.
