All you need to do to have multiple IDs per e-mail address is append '+something' to the e-mail address. For example if your e-mail address is jon@example.com and you wanted to have a separate FaceTime address for your iPad and for your Mac you could use: jon+mac@example.com and jon+ipad@example.com.

As an aside, e-mails sent to jon+mac@example.com and jon+ipad@example.com will still go to jon@example.com as well. In general adding '+something' to your e-mail is a useful way to keep track of who is sending you mail (provided the services support it).
