Yes, you can technically use as many classes as you want for a single element. Just remember that ids are not the same, there can be only one. Also try to keep things consistent and only use extra classes when needed.

You would link your external style sheet below the link to the bootstrap style sheet. This makes sure that your styles are the last ones the browser sees. Then you would just select and style elements as normal within your custom style sheet.
