Is it possible to have 2 nrf24l01+ transceivers connected to a single Arduino to receive data individually?
Essentially increasing the number of pipes from 6 to 12...
While I would swap pipeaddresses to listen to more than 6 pipes, it should be possible to run more than one nRF in a system.
You will need at least different CSN pins, CE could probably be shared.
Why do you want more than 6 pipes?

What exactly are you trying to do?
Do you really need more than 1 pipe?

I don't necessarily need more than one pipe if I use for instance one of the RF24 Network libraries. But I am new to Arduino and coding, and from my research the coding seems simpler to me if I could use 1 pipe per data stream.
My Application: I have 12 individual sensors (each attached to an Arduino). I need to send 1 byte of data wirelessly from each sensor to a central Arduino every 100ms and save the sensor data along with which sensor it came from.
Just use one pipe (the master listens and the slaves send to it) and add an id byte to the data.

Then the task of taming one nRF is complex enough. Study the datasheet of the nRF to learn its capabilities and restrictions.
The pair of programs in this link can be a basis for what you want. The master can poll each slave in turn. Just give each slave a different address and arrange for the master to call each in turn.
I got my nRF24s working with this Tutorial
I suggest you use the TMRh20 version of the RF24 library - it solves some problems from the ManiacBug version

I will dig into that code.... Thank you both...
