You connect to proxy 1 using TCP.  You optionally add TLS. You ask
proxy 1 to connect to proxy 2 over TCP.  You optionally add TLS.  You
ask proxy 2 to connect to proxy 3...

That was roughly my level of understanding while guessing, but I didn't know how to "ask proxy 1 to connect to proxy 2 over TCP".

If that's an idiom that everyone except TSV ADs already knows, no. Is it? 

:-)

Alternatively, if that's an idiom for those skilled in the art, I'm not sure why "one or more" needs to be mentioned at all. With just the one mention, it feels like "you can do this, and how you'd do this is left as an exercise for the reader" ...
