Depends what you want to achieve. If you want each monitor to have
individual X-sessions (i.e. individual login and keyboard/monitor)
then that is only possible with a pipe per session.

However if all you want are two windows e.g. side by side for two
pfChannles ion the sam eapplication (or multiple applications)
controlled from one X-session/keyboard/mouse session you can set that
up using a tool called ircombine.

E.g. you want two 1280x1024_60 channels side by side for a total
screen area of 2560x1024:

 /usr/gfx/ircombine
 press the 'ch0' button and select the 1280x1024_60 format
 press 'edit globals' and change managed area to 2560x1024
 press 'ch1' button and select the 1280x1024_60 format
 double click 'ch1' button and change orgin to 1280,0
 file->save to eeprom

 restart graphics: (/usr/gfx/stopgfx;/usr/gfx/startgfx)&
 from shell. And type it excately as written above with
 the parenthesis and the ampersand.
