Sure. The alkali metals transfer one. The alkaline-earth metals transfer 2. The Boron family transfers 3. The nitrogen family transfers 3. The Oxygen family transfers 2. All of the families I have listed also do covalent bonds, but when they do ionically bond some families do indeed either give away or accept more than one.

yes, of course, for example in Copper Sulfate, the copper loses 2 electrons and the sulfate gains 2
