This feels like an implementation detail of the parser, rather than an
automatic consequence of the syntax, and the current parser seems to handle
it just fine.
<?php
function foo(
$foo,
$ bar
) {}
# unexpected '$', expecting variable... on line 4
# https://3v4l.org/AC9kh
The same is true of arrays: both syntax and run-time errors are reported
with correct line numbers, e.g. https://3v4l.org/fMp4t and
https://3v4l.org/BXO8q

Here's the single-declaration version of that with a syntax error on line
163: https://3v4l.org/mGq2f
I think you're solving a non-existent problem here.
