Sorry, but this is not a thing at larger firms. You're going to need to pick one. It would be a conflicts nightmare, even if you think it would not be. Most larger firms also have anti-moonlighting clauses in their employee handbooks too.

Are the practices related at all?
But they also have plaintiff PI it seems from their description.
No, I would maintain personal injury. Although, they do have insurance defense as a practice area. It appears that each attorney has their own departments they work in. I’ve only worked in boutique firms where every attorney handles everything assigned.
Agreed with the above and if you brought this up in the interview I would expect the firm will make the decision for you and you'll be without an offer. Firms want to hear what you'll be bringing them in terms of time and potential, not that you only intend to devote part of your time to them. And asking for something that is not a thing doesn't make you look particularly savvy in my opinion.
This advice is spot on. Don't even raise the possibility if you want the job.

going into a firm, your practice would be folded into theirs, if they want it. I was considering moonlighting when I was interviewing for an in house position, and they would have been OK with it (and made an offer), but never with a firm.
I have on my resume my solo practice as my current position. When I was called about an interview, I assumed they would have asked me about that before scheduling an interview. I also assumed they know, given that the person who passed my resume was resume was informed and the location on my resume is out of town, I’m attempting to relocate and the job is a couple hours away.
One of my friends in NC has a solo practice and is “of counsel” to a larger firm. I would say the same size as the one I’m interviewing for. His solo is personal injury/crim law focused & he helps the firm with immigration law.
