The two port model is a MacBook Air in a MacBook Pro case. It can’t drive more than one external monitor.

(Actually the Intel ones could, but the M1 models inherit some limitations from being built around lightly modified iPad chips)

You can with DisplayLink
e.g.

With something like the Caldigit, or cheaper options or Sabrent

or HyperDrive, Plugable

You’re depending on the quality of the DisplayLink driver, which has historically been less than great.

I think that Sabrent thing requires native dual display support.
