Yes you can have multiple externals definitions, one on each line of the svn:externals property. Setting a multiline property on the command line via "svn propset" is difficult, so instead try "svn propedit svn:externals ." (and type the multiline externals into the interactive editor) or "svn propset svn:externals --file X ." (and provide a file X containing the multiline externals).
