More than one smoke source in a factory, is it possible?

Is it possible to set up more than one smoke source for a factory in the dat file? I would like to use it in the new geothermal powerplant I'm working on, as it has several cooling chimneys.. At the wiki doesn't mention anything concrete about this issue (link)

Currently not. However, you get SmokeTile and SmokeOffset, with which you should be able to position the smoke almost arbitrarily, and using a smoke of size, say, 256 might look similar.

Is it? I guess rather my obsession with mixing pak sizes

At pak64 scale it might still work... but for 128 probably not.

Well, if I've read correctly, what you say is "you can't put more than one smoke source,however you can use a larger one", isn't it? if so, I may need to create a bigger smoke cloud for this factory, but that's not difficult..
