It is not possible with Dashboard or by any other means if you are specifying class parameters. It is not meaningful or useful if you are not specifying class parameters. Do not confuse declaring the same class multiple times with declaring multiple resources of the same defined type. The latter is allowed and meaningful because each resource is independent of the others. The former is not meaningful, because classes are singletons -- second and subsequent declarations of the same class have no effect on the target node's catalog. On the other hand, a second or subsequent declaration of a given class is erroneous if it expresses and class parameters (even if they are the same as those of the first declaration). Furthermore, do recognize that even your example fails to express even a single class declaration. Instead, it expresses a declaration of a defined type instance. Neither Dashboard nor any other ENC can declare defined type instances, however, so there is no help for you there. Your requirement is therefore bogus -- either useless or unfulfillable. If you can offer more detail on what you're actually trying to accomplish then perhaps we can suggest alternatives.
