The 120-minute rule is determined by when you make the reservation, not the return time for the attraction.

But you can make both Individual Lightning Lane reservations that you are allowed at the same time, or at least, as fast as your fingers can work the phone. That means you can make ILLs for two different rides at 7 a.m. if you are staying onsite, or at park opening if you're staying offsite.
