Can a cuff bear hallmarks from 2 silversmiths? In this case « D » and « SM ». Or is there a silversmith who uses D SM as their signature? To me it almost looks like the D is not part of the rest of the signature (SM). Any info would be appreciated!

Yes, sometimes jewelry will be a collaboration between two artists and hallmarked by both. It’s not terribly common, though. Here’s an example:
In your case I think it’s one artist that hallmarked DSM. I think the extra space between the D and the S is just because they used individual letter stamps to hallmark rather than a single hallmark stamp, and didn’t space it perfectly.
