Yes, both ways.

When you want to apply simultaneously, you can attach multiple DSCs one after the other while adding respective place holders cyclically when creating a profile. For details please refer FAQ 22 here

If you want to apply multiple DSCs in multiple sessions (like multiple people signing in a workflow, as in a contract), Bulksigner license will allow the same except when you use the trial version. In a trial version, there is a watermark, which changes the document resulting in invalidation of signature/s done in the previous session/instance/cycle. A paid license does not have any watermark, hence there will be no such issue. It will always work as long as all people signing use Bulksigner. However, if some other software is also used for signing in conjunction with Bulksigner, then it may depend upon the way the output file is configured by this other software.

You can add more than one signing place/signatures.

While creating the profile and after adding 1st signing place and attaching a signature to the same via Step 1.4, if you want to add more signing places/signatures, go back to Step 1.3 (Page Selection) and repeat. When finished, click on NEXT at the bottom of the screen.

System will prompt for token for each place holder (signature box) while signing document.
