As you can put any data you like into a datagram, you could place the
contents of two short IP datagrams into one ethernet frame, yes.

The IP stack will never see or care about the "second" IP packet
because the "second" IP packet will be regarded by the protocol stacks 
as garbage at the end of the first datagram.
