EnergyPlus only allows one air loop per zone. You can add multiple pieces of zone equipment, in addition to an air loop. Combining the units is common, although if your building is one large space, the perimeter zones may have to work harder than the core, so you may want to still make multiple zones. You can always add zone mixing objects in between the zones, to add some interaction between them.

If you are conditioning with zone equipment instead of air loops, you can have multiple pieces of equipment.
