I'd do it the simple way: - copy Seasons to 'Seasons1' for instance 1 and edit to taste, enable that in your instance1.conf file (or whatever you call it) - copy Seasons to 'Seasons2' for instance 2 and edit to taste, enable that in your instance2.conf file similarly - use the original Seasons as your CYA starting point, disable that in both your .conf files - and set each of your skins to write to a different HTML directory so they don't step on each other
I'd also save the weewx-data tree occasionally, or at least the .conf files and skins trees as a second CYA in case of edit mistakes. You can't break anything re: how weewx saves data from your gear. The worst you can do is break the individual skin by mistakes in editing.
