One line of two related checks (an event and a condition) and splitting them up one to each line is the same code - so you can't really argue efficiency or optimization, but only a stylistic choice.
(Additionally, the standards thread does not mention putting an event and a condition on separate lines.

I also find it more efficient to have one check per line in MOST cases. It adds flexibility to a script. You can add in additional commands and statements very easily as compared to having multiple checks in your if statement.
