I think what he's actually trying to ask is:
"If spotter A has LOS to the target, but spotter B does not, will my artillery still get the bonus from spotter A if I use spotter B to call the strike?"
or possibly:
"Will my spotters work better if I use a separate one for each artillery battery?"

On question one, not from what I've seen, no.

On question two, in a campaign it's possible, however just involving your FO will get his experiance up, as will your Arty Bttys gain as time passes, of course this depends on keeping this units alive as well.

I usually have two FO's and alternate their use, when possible I'll use Plt Cmdrs or Recce to adjust fire (if they can see it) after my FO's lay down the initial strikes.
I consider my FO's part of my HQ PLT/CO, so they will try to have good views if possible, but I won't risk them in the front lines, thats what the combat troops are for.

Prost!
