Can I have two Schengen visas in one passport?

It's possible to have several visas in the same passport (e.g. an expired visa and a new one), even two unused visas with different periods of validity or back-to-back visas valid over a long period. On the other hand, I don't think consulates would generally issue overlapping visas but none of this is relevant to your travel plans.

Whether you have one or several visas and no matter when and where you enter, you can only ever stay 90 days in any 180-day period in the Schengen area using uniform short-stay visas. Having several visas, even several passports, does not open any right to stay longer.

Leaving and re-entering does not make any difference either, it's not 90 days per entry or 90 days at once, it's 90 days in any 180-day period.

Based on your plan, what you need is really a long-stay visa, no way around that.
