TCAS is capable of giving an RA for multiple aircraft threats. It avoids putting you into another RA, but if it does, it will give the appropriate guidance. This is why you want to keep the RA vertical guidance in your scan during an RA, as it can change dramatically.

All of this is, of course, assuming that all target aircraft are equipped with at least a mode c transponder.
