You can, there is only one swap file, and I wouldn't recommend doing so.

The conventional wisdom for the OS/2 swapper.dat file is to place it
on the most used partition of the least used drive on the system.
Putting it on it's own partition on a drive with other partitions in
use (particularly if it's the only drive) slows things down as it
almost guarantees that the heads will have to be moved further to get
to the partition than if the swapper.dat was in one of the main
working partitions.

The ideal situation if you have a smallish old drive is to use it as
a dedicated swap drive.
