I wanted to do exactly the same thing, but as far as I can tell you
can't.  I'd also really like for the snippets to be properly nested,
such that when you finish the second one, it carries on with the rest
of the first.

I'd also really like to be able to reference tab-stops from the first
snippet in the second snippet.

However I don't think any of these things are currently possible.
