I'm assuming Unix, since you mention $ORACLE_HOME rather than
%ORACLE_HOME%, but the arguments are much the same anyway.

Yes it's possible.  I've found no benefit in having two users, provided
you keep track on which one you're looking at.  I would suggest
different ORACLE_HOME's.  I've not seen ORACLE_PRODUCT before, but if
you mean $ORACLE_BASE (i.e. an OFA compliant install), it's not
necessary to separate these unless you hit:

1.  Space problems
2.  I/O performance issues due to having two kernels on one disk.

HTH.
