For sure. I felt bad enough asking two people to do it, didn’t want to ask any more. Helps that most were common LOR.

Depends on how many schools you're applying for, what the timelines look like, and how different your narratives for each one are. If your apps for school X and Y highlight different career objectives or life experiences, it makes a lot of sense to mix them up and target each with writers who can speak to that aspect in more detail (due to projects, personal relationships, alumni status, etc.). If you are sending out a lot of recommendations (say, 4+), out of courtesy to your recommenders, it's also a good idea to spread the love around (if the schools have different asks, it makes it easier for them to focus on quality and specificity).
