Legally, no: there is no progressive or increasing penalty scheme for successive or following violations, unlike the way DUI/DWI penalties tend to increase with each infraction. Each ticket stands on its own.
Practically, with repeat tickets, the prosecutor will be less likely to offer you any leniency (e.g. a good plea or reduced fine) were you to try to negotiate the offenses; you're more likely to simply have to pay  the stated amount. If you are comfortable with that, then there is no issue with having more than one ticket of this type.
