No, only one is possible.

Which standard would that be? I only know of EN 28601 that followed ISO 8601.

You can define as many date formats (to display dates) you want by just
adding them to the locale data file starting with formatindex="50", too
many formats in the dialog may just confuse users though..

For date acceptance patterns, as long as the DMY order stays the same
within one locale also multiple separators can be used, ISO 8601 and its
YMD order is always supported internally, no need to define anything for
that.
