You can have a plugin setup depend on the UID of an element like that:

temp.tx_someplugin_pi1 < plugin.tx_someplugin_pi1

plugin.tx_someplugin_pi1 >
plugin.tx_someplugin_pi1 = CASE
plugin.tx_someplugin_pi1 {
    key.field = uid
    default < temp.tx_someplugin_pi1
    123 < temp.tx_someplugin_pi1
    123 {
        templateFile = whatever.tmpl
        singlePid = 12
    }
}

Simply create sections like 123 for any UID you want to behave differently.

You can even make it independent from the UID but based on the position on
the page, so the first instance will be rendered differently than the
following instances:

plugin.tx_someplugin_pi1 {
    key.data = register:tx_someplugin_pi1_first
    default = COA
    default {
        10 = LOAD_REGISTER
        10.tx_someplugin_pi1_first = 1
        20 < temp.tx_someplugin_pi1
    }
    1 < temp.tx_someplugin_pi1
    1 {
        templateFile = whatever.tmpl
        singlePid = 12
    }
}

And you could make it behave like an even/odd switch so every second
instance will be rendered differently:

plugin.tx_someplugin_pi1 {
    key.data = register:tx_someplugin_pi1_first
    default = COA
    default {
        10 = LOAD_REGISTER
        10.tx_someplugin_pi1_first = 1
        20 < temp.tx_someplugin_pi1
    }
    1 = COA
    1 {
        10 = RESTORE_REGISTER
        20 < temp.tx_someplugin_pi1
        20 {
            templateFile = whatever.tmpl
            singlePid = 12
        }
    }
}
