If you use VirtualHosts you can have separate log files per
virtualhost. Say you put these in separate directories

   /var/log/apache/server1
   /var/log/apache/server2
   ...

You could then install a program called logrotate, and customize
/etc/logrotate.conf to rotate different files with different
frequencies (after disabling the current apache log rotation mechanism
in /etc/cron.daily/apache).

I don't know exactly what you mean here; the access_log and error_log
are already separate files. If you mean two versions of each file (why
are you wanting that?), Apache allows you to log to a pipe (ie pipe
the log stream to a program of your choice), so you can do whatever
you want.
