at Palmers Green are two separate box junctions. People turning right

legally they are only allowed to queue over the second box?

Yes. Since the exit to the first box is blocked by traffic queueing to
enter the second one, you may not enter the first one.

It's a really simple pair of rules that govern these things.
1: you may only enter the box if your exit is clear.
2: you may only stop in the box if a conflicting traffic movement
prevents you leaving it.

This is why I'm concerned about the examples in your previous post. Pity
you can't remember where they are.
