Well you can have multiple relays operated by one switch. You can only load up a relay to it's capacity. So having two or more is likely a smart idea if you are running lights with larger amperage draw than the relay is rated for. I think for my rock lights I have 3 relays running from one switch. Just wire it up so that the switch triggers all the relays required.
