hello, I'm a student who is pre-visit the topics I'm gonna learn next year, and according to the chemistry book, the definition of an optical isomer is a molecule with a chiral centre ( non-superimposable ) . What if there are two or more chiral centers?

At A-level they won’t give you one that has more than one chiral carbon

There’s 2^n isomers where n is the number of chiral centres. But I don’t think you have to know this for A levels

but this compound, CH3CH2CHBrCHBrCH3, comes from the Edexcel IAL book.... and it has 2 chiral centres...
