No. A domain must publish exactly one SPF record. Two or more SPF TXT records cause a PermError and receivers may ignore SPF entirely — regardless of how many lookups each uses. The fix is to merge them into a single record by combining their mechanisms.
RFC 7208 is explicit: a domain that publishes more than one record starting with v=spf1 produces a PermError. This often happens when a second mail service tells you to “add this SPF record” and you create a new TXT record instead of editing the existing one.
Keep one v=spf1 record. Move every include: and mechanism from the extra records into it, then delete the extras. Example: combining Google and a marketing ESP becomes v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com include:servers.mcsv.net ~all. Watch the 10-lookup limit as you combine.
Count the lines beginning with v=spf1:

It can. Combining includes adds their lookups together, so after merging, re-check you are still under 10.
