Yes. Sometimes it's a lot easier to hit more than one string than be precise enough to just hit one. His playing is often "lazy" in that sense.
I.e. it doesn't really matter whether you hit one or two, or even three - whatever you find easiest or most comfortable.

Good close-ups of his right hand here:


Also, watch how he just moves that left hand shape up and down the neck, instead of changing chords! Genius...
