Whether your final image is jpeg or png depends on the format included in the request, rather than what's included in the OUTPUTFORMAT block. I don't even normally put an OUTPUTFORMAT block in my mapfile - mapserver will accept requests for any image formats that it's been programmed to use by default (which includes jpeg and png for you already, very likely).
That said, you can put multiple OUTPUTFORMAT blocks in your mapfile. They are actually children of the MAP block rather than the LAYER block - you can't declare that a particular layer in a mapfile is only to be rendered in a particular output format. See the OUTPUTFORMAT section in the mapfile reference for more details. To get a jpeg for layer1 and a png for layer2, you'll need two separate requests, like: http://server/mapserv?request=GetMap&...&format=image/jpeg&layers=layer1 &... http://server/mapserv?request=GetMap&...&format=image/png&layers=layer2&; ... This is for CGI - if you're using mapscript someone else'll have to let you know how to generate the separate images.
