as Richard mentioned: only one TS-Template per page (last wins).
but there are some helps:

1. divide your TS-configuration.
either in smaller templates in a sysfolder, which can be included as 
static templates
or as single files which can be included in individual TS-templates or 
included in include-files.

so you can build up a hierarchy of TS-templates which can be build up/ 
included very individually.

in this way you have one TS-template in your root-page which just 
includes one 'master'-template (which includes other sub-templates)

in the TS-templates records you can include other templates just for the 
next level (= all subpages but not the current page)

2. the other way to restrict some TS to single pages (or subtrees) are 
conditions depending on page-IDs:

[page|uid = 123]
http://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/TyposcriptReference/Conditions/Reference/Index.html#id40

[PIDinRootline = 123]
http://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/TyposcriptReference/Conditions/Reference/Index.html#condition-pidinrootline

[PIDupinRootline = 123]
http://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/TyposcriptReference/Conditions/Reference/Index.html#condition-pidupinrootline

[globalVar = TSFE:id = 123]
http://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/TyposcriptReference/Conditions/Reference/Index.html#condition-globalvar

3a. you can use stdWrap-functions .if to set individual values depending 
on special values (which may be the page-id):

http://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/TyposcriptReference/Functions/If/Index.html

(in conjunction with .override, as single values in COA)

3b. you may use CASE
http://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/TyposcriptReference/ContentObjects/Case/Index.html
