Making two instances of a sub-vi run independently of each other?

Absolutely. Bring up the VI Properties dialog by right clicking on the icon in the upper right or finding it in the menus. On the Execution tab, make the VI reentrant. Reentrant VIs run independently, whereas a nonreentrant VI is intentionally protected. The only tradeoff here is that debugging of the VI will get a bit more limited.
