Nagios doesn't care. As far as it's concerned, it's just a string of
text. It'll happily pass them on to your notification program as one
string. The real question is, can your notification program handle them
appropriately? The default notification program, /bin/mail will not, at
least not as a comma separated list. To use /bin/mail you'd either need
to set your notification command to a script that parsed the multiple
recipients and added the appropriate number of -c arguments to
/bin/mail, or possibly, untested, use something like the following for
your contact definition --

	define contact{
		...
		email		-c address1 at foo.bar -c address2 at foo.bar
addressTo at foo.bar
	}
