The gprof program is only prepared to see a single histogram record in a gmon.out file. So I think it is fairly safe to assume that a gmon.out file will have only one histogram. More precisely, gprof can use more than histogram, but they must cover the same range of the program--same low PC, high PC, number of bins, and profiling rate. Support multiple histograms over the same executable space is intended to let you generate multiple gmon.out files from a single executable and combine them in a single gprof run.
