sure you can.

No, that's not necessary. By switching between the Latin 1-encoded and
the Latin 2-encoded fonts you can mix Latin 1 and Latin 2 characters in
a single document, no problem. You could extend this to, say, Cyrillic
as well.
You probably shouldn't use a single byte to represent two different
characters, e.g., assuming your initial font is Times (i.e., Latin
1-encoded):
{ TimesCE Base } @Font { £ód¼ } Fænø
and write this instead:
{ TimesCE Base } @Font { address@hidden address@hidden address@hidden zacute}
} Fænø
But both works fine.
