should I just use two 2 in 1 blocks?
Just use two double blocks.....

Do I ground them before or after the multiswitch?
Mount the blocks outside before the switch. It's nice to mount the switch indoors for troubleshooting when its poor weather outside.

I mounted my blocks outside and then ran the grounds (along with a dish ground) to a 8' rod in the ground nearby. Then that rod is bonded to the central house ground with heavy ground cable. That way, I have an outside path to ground before it ever enters the house.

can I connect a wire from the multiswitch to the house ground directly, in lieu of grounding each of the coax cables?
Nope....
