Can I place a puncture patch over another puncture patch?

I have a quick question about puncture repair (I know, it's a bit more basic than the usual stuff on the board!)

I just repaired about 4 different punctures on my inner tube yesterday and got another one on the way home from work today before realising there was a nail in my outer tire

This last puncture however was over one of the previous patches that I'd placed, and I'm wondering if I can stick another patch over it to repair it. There would be a bit of overlap with the tube probably because the hole is towards the outer edge of the patch.

I could go out in the rain and pick up another inner tube, but I don't see any reason another patch wouldn't work. Just wanted to ask so I don't end up having to walk 8 km home from work again tomorrow!

It's a 26 x 1.9 mtb tire, by the way.
