Only one throne, and Jesus sitting on it. How do we know? Because the Son is the visible image of the invisible God ( Col 1:15), and it is he that sits on the throne in heaven ( Rev. 3:21). Rev 22:3 speaks of a single throne "of God and of the lamb". Singular.

Now, I don't even try to speculate on much concerning the hereafter, because even when I think I know something, I don't.

Why wouldn't it be possible?

Re: How many thrones?

Rev 21:3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.
Rev 21:4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away."

1Jn 3:2 Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is.
