You can't for static assignments like that. If 
you are handing out dynamic IPs then you could 
(if the client supports it) configure the client 
to make two requests with different client-ids to 
get two addresses - but you'd need to do the 
configuration yourself. But that would be more 
work than just manually configuring it.
