Replace:

   <path d="M 920081 -5691558.6 l -18.7 557 -464.1 185.3 286.4 274.2  ...
   <path d="M 920081 -5691558.6 l -18.7 557 -464.1 185.3 286.4 274.2  ...

With:

<path d="M 920081 -5691558.6 l -18.7 557 -464.1 185.3 286.4 274.2  ...
          M 920081 -5691558.6 l -18.7 557 -464.1 185.3 286.4 274.2  ...

    One Path element with both sets of points.
For this to work the two path elements have to have the same
drawing style, and of course you lose the ability to easily
distinguish the two paths (based on mouse over or what ever).
