Add as many entries as you wish, one each line.

DietPi will automatically install all pre-reqs (e.g. ALSA/X11 for desktops etc)

E.g. the following (without the leading “#”) will install the LXDE desktop automatically on first boot:

So, is the correct syntax (for two pieces of software):

AUTO_SETUP_INSTALL_SOFTWARE_ID=1
2

Or is the correct syntax:

AUTO_SETUP_INSTALL_SOFTWARE_ID=1
AUTO_SETUP_INSTALL_SOFTWARE_ID=2

This is not an expected behavior at all, usually last env var is taken in case of several similar vars in place, so documentation has to have explicit instruction to prevent confusion.
