Two infinitive phrases back-to-back...

"Expect Edwards to survive the rough spots to emerge at the end."

Is this OK?

Using 'and to emerge at the end' gets you out of the problem, but that doesn't answer your question.

I see nothing wrong with the example below:

He has to run to clear the ditch.

Therefore, I judge your example to be correct too.
