No, you can have more, but on your first mask you have to have the areas of the second mask trasparent, and on the second, the area where the first mask is transparent. Hard to explain

I will explain it as best as I can.

So first, you need to make a terrain mask. That's the simple part. Next you need to make another terrain mask, but wherever there is color on the first one, it needs to be transparent on the other. Otherwise, in-game the terrain will glow if the masks overlay each other.

For example,

Terrain Mask 1 (ignore the scribbleness, I just made something up. ^^')

That has transparent parts because we need the other mask to fit in with it:

Together they'd look like this:

(but don't actually merge them)
Because of their transparency, they fit together WITHOUT overlapping each other.
So, in your map maker, you'd load the first mask in like normal, then choose your terrain, then once you arrow past the third terrain, the mask box becomes empty. That is where you will insert the other mask, and choose what you want for that.
