There can be several "listen" directive in one server. You can even
use HTTPS/HTTP site in single server:

server {
    listen  80;
    listen  443  default ssl;

    ssl_certificate ...
    ssl etc.

if these sites has very little difference.
However, it's better to separate them for future administration relief
and "include" common parts.
