No. How would it know which one to choose for new mailboxes? How would
the MUAs know where to look?
You can, however, use the expansion string to split mailboxes between
two directories. For example,
file = /var/spool/mail${nhash_2:$local_part}/$local_part
which does a hash on the local part, producing either 0 or 1, thereby
using mail0 or mail1.
But, remember, the MUAs that read these mailboxes also have to know
where they are.
