The flags are only used to select one of the default handlers for
backward compatibility through
the rte_mempool_create call. If you wish to use a mempool handler that
is not one of the
defaults, (i.e. a new hardware handler), you would use the
rte_create_mempool_empty
followed by the rte_mempool_set_ops_byname call.
So, for the external handlers, you create and empty mempool, then set
the operations (ops)
for that particular mempool.

Yes, you can create multiple pools, some using the default handlers, and
some using external handlers.
There is an example of this in the autotests (app/test/test_mempool.c).
This test creates multiple
mempools, of which one is a custom malloc based mempool handler. The
test puts and gets mbufs
to/from each mempool all in the same application.
Regards,
Dave.
