How many pages typically make up a prologue in a book?
A prologue in a book typically consists of 1 to 5 pages.
Can the text in the prologue also appear in the main body of the novel?
There is no reason why it shouldn't. Maybe the prologue contains the essence of the novel, some small morsel of insight that might whet the literary appetite of a new reader. Then the novel can precede, maybe even from some point chronologically earlier than the time setting of the prologue. As the storyline develops it gradually gets closer to the moments that were epitomised in the prologue. Maybe the prologue could be repeated at that point, and the reader will then more fully grasp the significance of the thoughts expressed in the prologue. After all, a prologue is just a preliminary narrative, speech or poem. Doubtless, with some novels, it would be ideal to introduce it again, later, in context, where the poignancy of the prologue will be more fully understood and appreciated. One writing tutor says, of a prologue, that it can be "... a scene taken directly from the book - a few paragraphs inserted only to make us keep reading." The decision whether 'to prologue, or not to prologue' is the author's to make, who will also decide the form of the prologue if one is used. Those wishing to develop their writing skills may wish to make a wide study of novels with prologues, then decide for themselves what advantages there may be in having a prologue. With a broader spectrum of knowledge the author can then make an informed choice regarding prefacing their own novel(s) with a suitable prologue, or not!

Literature has been kept flexible enough to allow pretty much anything. I know that new additions of older works tend to collect a series of prefaces. If you think that you can use two prologues to good effect then I see no reason for you not to try.

How long should the prologue to a novel be?
A short as possible and preferably absent all together. One of the most important things that you can do in a novel is to immediately provide a narrative hook. That is 'get the reader interested in the plot as quickly as possible'. Having a Preface only serves to delay that most important element. Of course you can make the preface as interesting as possible. In Jurassic Park we have a preface (prolong) in which an unseen velociraptor is tortured and kills a man, interesting in itself.
