Apr 18, 2019 at 1:44 comment added Keerthi Madapusi By 'standard' here, I'm assuming you mean parabolics that contain the specified minimal parabolic. Not that it really matters. Your question is basically if $P_1\subset P_2$ are parabolic subgroups, then we have the decomposition you wrote down. To see this, just note that both sides are subgroups of $G$. Moreover, the right hand side is contained in $P_1$: This amounts to the fact that $P_1$ contains $N_2$, which is immediate from the projectivity of $P_2/P_1$. The rest is now easy.
