hi, Yes, you can achieve nice multiflash- setup alike shots by combining multiple exposures with flash. One way to achieve balanced lighting is to modify the ISO to compensate for the multiple exposures in the same way you would for a multiple exposure without flash. In that way you affect flash and ambient light at the same time and by the same amount. IF you want to simulate effects like main flash and fill-in with some kind of ratios, then you have to apply flash exposure compensation on top of it.
A simple example: You want to use two "lights" with ISO100 film. Then you set multiple exposure to 2 and ISO200. If you want the lights to be balanced, shot each of the two times by placing the flash and reflector pointing to your desired side of the subject. If you like main light and fill-in, dial +1/2 stop FEC before shoting the side that should be fully lighted and -1/2 FEC for the fill-in light. The total difference is 1 stop or a 1:2 ratio. That's the idea. Now play with it to achieve what you have in mind. Note that this method is also effective to simulate strobe effects with flashguns without this feature. I hope that helps...
