You can send the file to different definitions if you loop over your file sets 
rather than handle them all with one command. Then you can change destination 
on each loop.

To answer the question you asked in the subject: no, you can't create a form 
with several multi-file uploads and send them to unique destinations. One form 
has ... one destination.

But what you can do is move files around after they've been uploaded.
You shouldn't allow uploads to directories within your web root as a general 
rule anyway until you can verify the safety of uploaded files.
So create a file uploader action page that uploads files to a safe
(non-web-accessible) location, verifies the safety of those files, then moves 
the files where you want them to be.
