Here's a portion of a launch file I have where I spawn two robots. I use this format to spawn multiple robots using the same *.urdf or different robots like shown below.

also roscd gazebo_worlds/launch and look how the table.urdf.xacro is launched. I don't think what you have is right.

Hope it helps.

<node args="-urdf -param passive_cubelet_1 -x 0.58 -y 0.0 -z 0.585 -R 0.0 -P 0.0 -Y 0.0 -model passive_cubelet_1" name="spawn_passive_cubelet_1" output="screen" pkg="gazebo" respawn="false" type="spawn_model"/> |

<node args="-urdf -param inverse_cubelet_2 -x 0.748 -y 0.0 -z 0.585 -R 0.0 -P 0.0 -Y 0.0 -model inverse_cubelet_2" name="spawn_inverse_cubelet_2" output="screen" pkg="gazebo" respawn="false" type="spawn_model"/>
