That condition just means "in contact" ("conjoined" is not a good term
to have used, as that word implies "no overlap").  From precedent,
there can be overlapping, but only if the area of intersection is
small (for one example, two spears in saltire) -- and there's a
precedent applicable both to fieldless and fielded that "barely
overall" (e.g., the very tips of two wings overlapping an annulet) is
also cause for return.
