Yes, apparently ;)

Simply use the same designator for all parts, perhaps such with a special 
number.

No problems here, I used a part with about ten symbols, but you have to keep 
track of the used pins and ref-deses. It is also important, that the splitted 
symbols have the same set of attributes (at least the footprint and ref-des), 
strange things can happen otherways.

I normaly use a Makefile to generate the symbols out of the ASCII-files. It is 
relatively straightforward to generate a big list of the pins, describe them 
and then split this list to the logical symbols. All you have to do then is 
"make".
