I'm not entirely sure what you mean. Of course, you can print multiple  
pages of a PDF onto single pages of paper (or of a file) using Layout  
in the Print dialog to choose how many pages you want to print onto  
one page and the pattern in which they should print. If you want to  
print a "facing pages" display multiple times to a page, you can't do  
that directly unless there's a specialized piece of software designed  
for that task. The closest you could come with Preview or Skim would  
be to use Layout in the Print dialog to lay out two pages to a  
landscape-oriented page in the Print dialog, which would be similar to  
a "facing pages" view, and print that to a PDF. Then open that PDF and  
use the print layout again to print it as many times as you wanted on  
a page.
