I think you are looking for individual solutions, which you can get via
first(%o2) and then continue on by doing e.g. first(rest(%o2)). I
actually don't know the details of %union implementation---those are the
two things I just tried and they worked (after trying to index %o2, and
trying things like car/cdr).
How would one go about finding out things like that systematically? i.e.
where should one look for the explanation of a maxima construct one
might see in someone else's code, such as %union()?
