Separate conkys are no problem - I run about 12 at the moment (over 2 monitors). A look back at some of the desktops I’ve posted will give you an idea 
conky -c alternate_conky_filename_rc &
will run the alternate conky without interference from the first, or subsequent ones.
I suggest making a directory for keeping all your conky stuff - I have used ~/.conky or ~/.config.conky most often - with subdirs for lua script and images. If you don’t start out orgranized (!)
Ask if you get stuck…
