It is a good idea to breed two does at the same time in case the mother of one litter dies or rejects her babies. A baby rabbit can suckle from any healthy mother rabbit. However, it can be difficult to get the substitute mama to accept the babies as her own. Try rubbing vanilla extract on the fur of both litters and the mama's nostrils. All mama rabbit will smell is the vanilla, and she will think all the babies are hers. Watch them closely to make sure all the babies are being suckled, kept warm ,and taken care of. This will onyl work if both litters are small. Mama rabbit might get overwhelmed if she has to suckle more than six babies. If the litters are too large or the mama doesn't accept the other litter, you can hand feed them kitten formula using a dropper. By the way, it's spelled "suckle", not "sukkle".
