PLEASE TELL ME THE CASES IF TWO DIODES IN SERIES CAN BE USED TO CLAMP THE VOLTAGE. WHY OR WHY NOT?

Two diodes in series and connected oppositely do nothing because one is always reverse-biased.
Two diodes in series connected with the same polarity clamp one polarity to two diode voltage drops.
Two diodes connected oppositely but in parallel clamp both polarities to their forward voltages.

I do not know what signals you want to clamp or clip and I do not know why.
