Not on a single display plane, but you can have multiple display planes active
on the same CRTC that each have their own framebuffer. Also, some framebuffers
can have more than a single buffer object attached to them (for stuff like
stereoscopic displays).

JFYI an overlay is basically just a type of display plane, but has limitations
a universal display plane doesn't have. You see it mostly on older hardware,
where I think the common usecase was to do video decoding and isolate it to a
single display plane to lower the resource usage of actually compositing the
resulting video onto the display.
