You can create multiple services within a subscription. Each one can be provisioned at a specific tier. You're limited only by the number of services allowed at each tier. For example, you could create up to 12 services at the Basic tier and another 12 services at the S1 tier within the same subscription. For more information about tiers, see Choose an SKU or tier for Azure Cognitive Search.
Maximum service limits can be raised upon request. If you need more services within the same subscription, contact Azure Support.

2 Search units are billing units, allocated as either a replica or a partition. You need both resources for storage, indexing, and query operations. To learn more about SU computations, see Scale resource levels for query and index workloads.
