Another Souper regexp question

I've been following the various inquiries and answers about the
regular expression handling of Souper, including the helpful
extract from the Unix man file.

However, I haven't quite figured out if it is possible to base
a selection criteria on eliminating an article if both tested
'atoms' appear but not eliminating if only one or the other is
present appears.

For instance, I want to eliminate all messages where both
'apples' AND 'oranges' appear in the subject heading, but not
any messages only having 'apples' OR 'oranges' ... anyone
care to take a stab at this and a) tell me it is possible and
b) maybe provide an example?

In retrospect, maybe we need someone here to give us a slightly
larger tutorial on regexp parsing and what can, or cannot be
accomplished.
