The solution is "trivial". If you have inserted both tt_news instances as 
normal page content element, you can use the flexform to configure them, 
different starting pages, different numbers of "post", different template 
and so on. You can have as many instances as you want, where the first instance 
shows news nr 1 in list views, second shows news nr 2 - 5 in latest view 
and so on.

There are even some explanation in the manual.

Exactly the same is possible using TypoScript.
