Basically a flexform is just a field in a database record where all the data from the flexform is stored as a XML structure. If you want to add a flexform tt_news (in your example), you have to add a column of type "text" and create an appropriate TCA for it (a column of type "flex"). Your database field will be called something like "tx_someext_flex". If someone else adds a flexform to tt_news too, it will most likely have its own database field and its own TCA definition, so the two fields will co-exist.
