As Smarbaga suggests in the next post, many home switches are mounted on a slider or mechanism where they are moveable if desired. In commercial applications the home switches are sometimes adjusted to a new position with each job as the machine setup changes.
You can wire two homing switches in parallel if you so desire, but the machine will home on the first switch it sees. However, if you have a means to switch the closest switch out of the circuit, the machine will home on the second switch.
