Hub and spoke vpn question

Can a fortigate act as the hub for multiple hub and spoke instances? Such as a Hub A for 5 spokes....and a hub B for 5 other spokes. Dont want the A and B spokes to see each other. I didnt want to run through a second hub wizard if I was going to break something. It appeared to setup a different routed network but the AS number was going to be the same. I guess the single fortigate cant run multiple instances of BGP?

Would there be a way to do this and separate out the routing?

You can take a look at the article reference given below;

Your requirement is more like two completely separate customers/orgs/networks with BGP, instead of connecting one spoke location to both HUBs.
Then one solution is to set up two VDOMs "hub-A" and "hub-B", which is equivalent to have two FGTs. Of course both VDOMs need to have individual IPs. But it wouldn't be different when you have two FGTs.
You can probably use VRFs as well but I'm not familiar with VRFs since we always use VDOMs in those situations. VRFs basically "segment" routing-tables.

Yes VRF does create separate routing tables and so does the VDOM's
