If there is 2 or more level paging for processes, is it possible to have more than 1 page fault while accessing any single addressable unit(byte or word) ?

No. Because page table access never page faults. All the page table entries will always be in main memory.

But a single instruction can cause multiple page faults if it involves multiple memory operands.

In case of an instruction that is split into many words, we may have multiple page faults, but for a single word, we can have a max 1-page fault as when we access all the  PT are in memory?
Is that the essence of your answer?
