It can be, but like all other martial arts (despite what they say) it isn't very effective. The best best art for fighting multiple opponents is track & field (running). winning against multiple opponents is more about luck than training.

most of the moves work well with multiple opponents (standing moves at least) but there are some key elements that they don't train. A lot of the art of multiple opponent fighting is positioning - standing in the right place so that as they try to get you they get in each others way. The only arts i know teach this are ninjutsu, aikido and bagua.

Thats a tough one....I have to admit that BJJ is mostly taught with one attacker in mind...not mutlple. However, once you get a lock on some one (that be a choke, arm lock, leg lock, etc.), it doesn't take that much time to choke some one out or break/dislocate an arm/leg....it only takes a few seconds if that. If it were me, I would probably just strike once or twice and then RUN! However, if I had to defend someone else.....double leg and then armbar or choke....I might get hit a few times by the other guy, but within a few seconds I will hopefully have him in the same position as the other guy.....I would exchange a few bruses to my back for that.

Depends upon several factors. First, it depends upon the style of jujutsu being used. The techniques of most styles were designed with only one or two opponents in mind. However, if you became proficient, you would be able to execute the techniques swiftly & powerfully and thus be "open" for handling multiple opponents by sequential elimination.
Second, it depends upon the amount & quality of instruction you receive.
Third, it depends upon how long & hard you have studied the techniques.
Fourth, it depends upon how skilled your opponents are. If you have one opponent who's very proficient...you'll have your hands full with just one. If you have 3 opponents with limited skill (and you are skilled), you can easily handle them.

It can be... I would probably ditch any ground moves and resort to standing locks, throws instead. You can try to keep an opponent between you and the others too.
Not saying it would be easy but if you can get 2 fingers on an outstretched arm you can control someone.
