Yes you can.  What's in your file list currently?  Something like /vol/vol0?
Just add the next volume.  Volumes use different disks so there's no i/o
contention with disks.  What filer model are you using?  If you have a 740 or
up, it will handle 2 streams without too much difficulty (800 series will handle
4 no issues).
