Just simple. As you can think of those situations then think of the resources and techniques you can use. You know that when the second aircrafts departs it has to depart after some time due to wake turb. And when the 1st one declared emergency and then the second one is going to do that after some time. so now you know both are in emergency and the first one comes first and then the second one. so just send a tug as well and when the first one landed the tug has to evacuate it from the runway so then the second one can land. Now don't tell me it's going to do crash landing due to bird strikes. if it can return to airport to land it just like emergency landing without engine power and if the gears are down then it's fine.

First one back down on the runway and for the next one, if it was me, would put it down on the taxi way. Having no thrust or minimal thrust and a blocked runway, not much decision making needed!
With respect, ATC is of little consequence (they are unable to help any aircraft on minimal thrust)!!!
