Swiss Cheese Studs?

Trying not to overstay my welcome here. Thanks in advance for your patience.

Quick recap - - the walls were closed up before electrical was seen by the inspectors - - permits were pulled but inspections were not called after maybe the first week of the job.

Remembering what we saw - - I posted already about the stud notching - - that was probably OK - - my next question - - these were existing studs and I am pretty sure they had already been penetrated through the centers for conduit in the past.

Can studs be both notched and hollowed through, both tunneling methods, or does that overly weaken the studs?
