bought two apartments

[navi tasan]

1) Tom bought two apartments, in London and Paris.

I suppose that would usually mean one apartment in each city. Could it ever mean two apartments in each city?

2) Tom bought an apartment, in London and Paris.
3) Tom bought one apartment, in London and Paris.

Do '2' and '3' mean anything? If yes, what?

Gratefully,
Navi

Sentences #2 and #3 don't work.
Let's not complicate things. Say for example:

Tom bought an apartment in London and one/another in Paris. [one apartment in each city]
or
Tom bought two apartments, one in London and one/another in Paris. [one apartment in each city]


Tom bought two apartments in London and two more in Paris. [two apartments in each city]
or
Tom bought two apartments in London and another two in Paris. [two apartments in each city]
