It depends. More than one tornado produce by a cyclic supercell are called a tornado family.

Six or more tornadoes produced by the same storm system is called a tornado outbreak.

If one tornado forms next to, and circles another it is called a satellite tornado.

Another possibility is what is called a multiple vortex tornado. This is a tornado that has several smaller, more intense suction vorticies moving around inside it, almost like mini-twisters. However, it is still considered one tornado even though it may have two or more funnels.

Can more than one tornado hit one spot?

Yes. After an area has been hit by a tornado the odds of a tornado striking it in the future are the same as they were before. One notable case is the town of Harvest, Alabama. On April 3, 1974 it was struck by an F5 tornado, followed by another F5 less than an hour later. Harvest was then struck by an F4 tornado in 1995, an EF5 tornado in 2011, and an EF3 tornado in 2012. The 2012 tornado destroyed homes being rebuilt following the one in 2011.
