they aren't named-pipe name spaces, but holders of arbitrary file descriptors,
which allows them to hold references to any open device, including network connections.
that means there's no problem in principle with having more than one.
one (incompatible) convention would be to make new ones and allow
an attach name such as #sxyz to refer to a particular instance, "xyz".
another variant, which is orthogonal, would allow directory structures
and track ownership.
named-pipe spaces are created by binding #| to a name, and each one is a new pipe.
