I think you need to place them out of spirit range (i.e the range of union etc) from eachother.

I think it is or was true with ranger spirits at least, but they have to be spread by at least the WHOLE of the radar if not more to work which is useless in any setting.

This weekend I noticed this when I was going down the spider cave in the FoW. I saw 3 green dots (spirits i am assuming) in a line in my radar bubble. I was using bloodsong as my spirit, and I am guessing that the spacing was a little bigger than your agro bubble. This is unconfirmed and I am just going on memory. I also had a ranger with me dropping favorable winds so i could be wrong. I did not run back to see if it was my spirit. You can easily test this in an explorable area.

You can drop a second of any spirit without killing the origional as long as you drop it out of range, which is the same size as your radar.

This is the same for all spirits.

think it's less than radar actually. because I can drop a spirit and still see the old on radar. I dunno the exact minimum range it needs to be though, Guess I have a project tonight.

basically, spirit range is about half of your radar range. But, tbh, since pain isn't gonna do shit half a radar range away from the action, this technicality is just that, a technicality. It has very little practical use. Same with union, shelter, etc. not only does the spirit have to be OUT of the other's range, but it has to be IN yours, making this whole point pretty much moot

Yes you can have another Pain spirit up as long as your half radar range away fro mthe old one. The only 2 spirits i know you can do this with is Bloodsong and Pain. I only ever do this for example in RA on some maps you can create sentries around the map, so say there was a runner they'd always run into the spirits along their path, meh it adds to damaging the runners. I remember once my team managed to get one runner down to mnimal health but then they activiated running skills and got away, but the sentries actually killed them off since running past them was unavoidable.
