No and yes.

No, you cannot create multiple instances of named semaphores.

But if you want to avoid name collisions among shared semaphores you
can create unnamed shared semaphores, if you are able to communicate
the semaphore handle to the other process. The other process gains access
to the mutex with DosOpenMutex(NULL, &mutexHandle);

You could also avoid name collisions simply by giving the semaphores
different names, for instance:
  \\sem32\schuller\mutex.001
  \\sem32\schuller\mutex.002
  \\sem32\schuller\mutex.003
  ...


Yours sincerely,
