Timothy,

You're using prefix notation, so you have the operator followed by however
many arguments.  Your example #1 would look like this:

	(&(sn=Wilson)(!(givenName=Tim)))

You can just add terms forever:

	(&(a=1)(b=2)(c=3)(!(d=4)) ...)

I suggest you take a look at RFC 2254 -  The String Representation of LDAP
Search Filters:

	http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2254.txt

It has many examples.
