You can have as many 401k plans and IRA's as you would like. However, to have a 401k plan, it has to be through your employer, and there are limits to what you can put in.
With an IRA, you can have several of them but there really isn't much of a point as it will just confuse your financial plan.

When deciding were to invest your retirement money you have many options, two of those are an IRA and a 401K. A 401K is set up by the employer, where as an IRA is set up on personal preferences.
One needs to roll their 401k to an IRA. One needs to physically authorize the removal of the 401K funds to the new location. If the IRA is at the same institution as the 401k, less paper work may be involved.

You can roll over a 401k account into your IRA account. This is cost effective and relatively easy.
Any employee, regardless of the type of work he or she performs, is eligible for a 401k if the employer offers it. An employer is not required to offer a 401k, however. If an employer-sponsored plan (401k, 403b, SEP IRA, etc.) is not available, often individuals will contribute to a Traditional IRA or Roth IRA.
It is very costly to roll your 401K into an IRA. 20% is withheld for taxes to start with. You might consider a Roth IRA to save a little bit.
