No we can't have 2 DHCP servers in one network, coz it is used to provide IP address to the clients. If two server are supposed to distribute at a time there will be a conflict of the given and reserved IP addresses  between two distribution points.

We can install 2 DHCP server or more, There is no IP conflict because we can define different IP range scope on individual DHCP server.

Yes, we can have as many multiple DHCP servers, as it can asign IPs from the same scope are different scope. Depends upon the requirement. Like we can have some thing called as stand-by server or secondary server incase the primary fails. Thanks

Yes, we can create as much scopes on the same network. For this what we have to do:- First we can create more than one scope and afterwards we have to create superscope, and merge as much scopes in that. This is mainly use for load balancing of network and fault tolerance.
