how one question always leads to another
I don't disagree with David's literal translation, but I think this may be more instantly understandable.

You could translate "cuestionamento" as "interrogation" to avoid repetition.

the way he always makes the last question end up being the penultimate one
La redacción del texto origen me parece bastante desacertada, pero al fin y al cabo lo que quiere destacar es la forma en la que consigue eso (que la última pregunta sea la penúltima). A partir de ahí se puede expresar de muchas maneras en inglés, como la que he sugerido.
