Sorry to not know personally enough about this, but there is a concept
called Ethernet Bonding, you should Google for it for your particular
server Distribution that you're using. ( I quickly saw Debian, SLES, Gentoo
etc)
The direct answer is NO, it's probably not a good idea to give them
separate IP addresses on the same subnet (aka with the same broadcast
address).
As bob said, if you don't need it, then I'd just leave the second one
unplugged and pretend it doesn't exist :)
Bonding can be valuable because if one cord gets disconnected, or one NIC
somehow goes down you can continue to operate. You'd have to read closer
to see whether you can bond two NICs that are plugged into different
switches.

You could just keep it simple and ignore the second nic.
You would only need it if you want to route traffic, create another
subnet or make it a failover. I think if you assign each nic an ip on
the same subnet, that would cause problems.
