Tube patch question

I had a new leak this week, so I took the tube out to find and patch it. Turns out the new leak was at the edge of an old existing patch or just under it. Removed the old patch, tested it in a bucket of water and there were 2 leaks! One was the original one I'd patched, and the new one very close to the edge of where the old patch had been (outside of the edge). I had an oversized patch, so I applied it. Just wondering if you can do that - will one patch work for 2 holes that are close together? It wouldn't have been possible to put 2 patches on. Won't know until I get the next flat and replace the tube with the one I just fixed.

Thanks.
