Thanks Jacob!
That actually solved my problem, running both commands in a one-liner requires only one authentication, even if it is still a bit slower than a single command.

I struggled a bit to come up with a batch syntax to concatenate password and OTP, but finally succeded.

I'm leaving it here for the records, in case someone needed it:

setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%g IN ('op item get "VPN" --fields password^&op item get "VPN" --otp') do (SET PWD=!PWD!%%g)

You can then pass the %PWD% variable to the VPN connection command, or everything else you need it for.
