That would not work, because the first $(TAR) will extract actual files
to the disk, and does not send the extracted files to the stdio, so the
second $(TAR) will get nothing on its stdin (at best), or only get
garbage (at worst).

To extract a tar-in-a-tar, you have to extract the outermost tar, to be
able to extract the innermost one. This _has_ to be a two-step procedure.
