No, only a single monitor/display.

I really couldn't say how NVIDIA does it, although I do know that a user can
set both [say] 1920x1080 or 1920x1200 with a 1920x1080 region. I'm not sure how
it distinguishes (although obviously it automatically does the correct thing 
when set by old versions of RandR). Which is another reason why I suggested
talking to NVIDIA since only they can tell you what's going on behind the
scenes.
