No, you only get one reference. If you are applying through a school or college your referee should gather information from all your subject tutors and collate this into one reference. Any additional information will have to be submitted direct to the university and they may not agree to accept it, unless there is a particular reason to do so, in the interests of fairness to other applicants.

Could you ask your tutor if he/she would mind including your second reference in with the main one? (if there's space)

Warwick and Leicester told me I could e-mail the admissions tutors with the reference letters and my app id/ucas id and all the details. They are likely to take a look at it.
I'd just call the unis you're applying to though.
It's not something that is widely accepted and unless there are some amazing circumstances I wouldn't bother.

Some unis do ask for a second reference (ie for a Nursing course) but it's rare. So unless they ask for another one, and there's nothing exceptional, I wouldn't.
