Multiple speed gauges

Anyone know the number of speed gauges a single pitot can support? I am thinking about two sets of basic gauges.

Number of instruments should not be a factor. You are dealing with pressure, not volume. The only thing you add with more gauges is an increase in chances for leaks.

We have three different airspeed displays.
1. Dynon 100
2. IK Technology 4000
3. Standard Display.
They all work fine.

Thnx. That is great. The reason I asked was that unlike most you here in the process of building. I will start building the avionics first. At this time, I am building a HUD. Hope to complete the display code in a month or so.
