A new queen will sometimes lay multiple eggs  such as you have described.  As an
earlier post pointed out, laying workers will result in many egg per cell
normally on the sides.  I have seen 10 to 15 (estimated) eggs in a cell from
laying workers.  Usually only 3 or 4 from a young "trigger happy" queen.
