Why do you want to? Except maybe if you suspend multiple distros instead of
shutting down, I don't know any good reason to have more than one contiguous
swapper.

I have no idea whether it's possible to get the installer to not use swap
partitions it finds, but when installation is done, simply edit /etc/fstab
and remove the line that mounts the swapper you don't want it to use.
