I have no knowledge of the workings of the keyservers. But my guess is
that they would all be coalesced into the single signature that they are
(similarly to when a single new signature was uploaded to two different
SKS keyservers and these are coalesced on reconciliation).

It might be possible if you just change some bytes. I dunno.
