I think this is an artificial version from California!  Down here (well, in
Georgia where I come from; here in Florida there are a variety of people)
they just say y'all's.  I doubt they would say y'alls's, though it is true
that in some versions of the "southern" accent that appear in GA, plurals
of words that end in two surds (e.g., words ending in "-st") seem to get
pronounced as "es".  E.g., ``I went down to the sporting goods store and
looked at some life vestes, but they were all orange, and that would scare
off the Basses.''
