I figured there's no reason to wear more than one hood, but I had also never heard of schools restricting regalia. So, I figured I'm just sheltered in my academic world and anything's possible at some schools. LOL.
The all-knowing wikipedia has an extensive page on academic dress for those who care about the general topic.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_dress
"Only one hood may be worn at any given time.[46] Trim colors may not be combined or displayed together in any way to attempt to indicate more than one academic field.[38] The regalia indicating the highest degree attained is usually worn, though the Code seems to allow for a graduate to revert for some occasion to the entire academic costume (e.g. robe style, trim width, hood length, etc.) of a lesser degree earned. Those who hold multiple degrees of the same level (i.e. more than one master's or doctorate degree) may wear at any given time the regalia, in its entirety, of any one degree earned.[46] The Code does not allow for 'mixing-and-matching.' The regalia prescribed by an academic institution and the degree actually awarded by that institution to the wearer (as indicated by trim color, hood length, robe style, etc.) must be consistent. The one exception is for officers of the academic institution who, while wearing a doctoral gown of the University being served, may display one hood from any degree earned from any institution.(see Academic robes, above).[39]"
