Yes, you can repeat the configuration lines:

lxc.network.type=veth
lxc.network.link=br0
lxc.network.flags=up
lxc.network.ipv4=1.2.3.4/24

lxc.network.type=veth
lxc.network.link=br1
lxc.network.flags=up
lxc.network.ipv4=4.3.2.1/24

etc ...

You can create more network interfaces than you have on your host and 
you can mix the configurations like in the lxc-complex.conf 
configuration example.

If the lxc.network.name is not specified, the interfaces will be created 
in the reverse order they were specified, it's a bug and will be fixed 
very soon.
