You can either just add multiple connections and libreswan will
automatically figure out when it can share the IKE SA, or you
can use subnets (plural) instead of subnet (singular) to cover
combinations, eg:

 	leftsubnets={10.0.1.0/24,192.168.1.0/24}
 	rightsubnets={172.16.2.0/24,10.13.14.0/24}

Note that this will setup all combinations, so 4 tunnels.
