Why not just go to Site Modules in the Admin, click the checkbox next to 
the modules, and then click "copy".

Than you will have 2 modules you can position and configure 
independently of each other that use the same code.  You can even 
configure them seperately(for example, a module that displays the latest 
articles can be configured in one instance to show 3 articles and 
another to show 10)
