It will give you a syntax error because multiple remote args aren't
supported.  You could use this, though, for multiple files on a single
connection:

  rsync -av 'rsync://server/module/file1 module/file2' /local/dest/dir

As long as both the "module" names are the same.  See the ADVANCED USAGE
section of the rsync manpage for the other multi-file pull commands.
