No. You can only have one mount point at the root - or / - in any one

mkdir /newmountpoint

Edit /etc/fstab and point your partition to /newmountpoint instead of /

You can mount a new partition at almost _any_ point in your tree -
/home/fred/games/test/broken can be a seperate partition, if you want it
to be.
