Yes.

I don't think that would be ever possible when using monitor
interfaces.
On the other hand, it doesn't make much sense to support that. The
interfaces are not completely independent, e.g. you cannot tune to
different channels on different virtual interfaces. Therefore, at least
a minimal knowledge about virtual interfaces would be needed in more
complicated user space MLMEs.
