You will only ever find one set of files in a multisite network(5, 10, or 100,000 sites? all share one set of WordPress files), the multisites are virtual.
Using a 2nd child theme (and making it visible on a per site basis) is a good way to go if you want to customize “out of the box” themes.
If it is a matter of tweaking CSS, then use an EditCss plugin – CustomCSS with Jetpack plugin.
OK! thank you David! I tried to do so but it doesn’t appear at the theme panel.. at the moment I have only managed to create a one child theme. what is the right way to create the 2nd child theme? thank you!
Creating a 2nd child theme is a process identical to the first:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
When creating your child directories and stylesheet header just change the name is all.
myfavtheme
myfavtheme-child
myfavtheme-child2
myfavtheme-child3
myfavtheme-child4
In multisite, you need to visit the Network Themes panel to make themes “Network enabled” first:
/wp-admin/network/themes.php
then visit the site’s theme panel “activate” the child theme
/wp-admin/themes.php
