Or you could simply use a typoscript object to have 2 distinct tt_news on your page

it would look like this:

plugin.tt_news.code >
plugin.tt_news.code = LATEST

lib.latest1 < plugin.tt_news
lib.latest1.displayLatest.title_stdWrap.crop = 100 | ...

lib.latest2 < plugin.tt_news
lib.latest2.displayLatest.title_stdWrap.crop = 100 | ...

the only disavantage of this solution is that you need to set your whole plugin by 
typoscript so you cant use a regular tt_content plugin
