For Congressional nominations - By law you can only apply for a nomination from your Congressman (the one who represents your district). You may also apply to both of your US Senators. You may also apply to the Vice President. Everyone is allowed to apply to these 4 sources. (There are other nomination sources as well, but if you were entitled to one, you’d know about it already).

Some Members Of Congress (MOC) allow you to only apply for one academy nomination, others ask you to rank them in order of preference, and some others have no restrictions whatsoever.

If your MOC allows you to apply for a nomination for more than one academy, go for it. Although some MOC will communicate with other to avoid duplicate nominations, it is not uncommon for a single MOC to nominate a candidate to more than one academy, nor is it uncommon for two MOC to give duplicate noms to a candidate (for the same academy).
