I have one Fios extender set up by coax and I’m wondering if I can put another on a different coax. Will it slow down the overall speed? I saw something when I googled it but I don’t think it applies to these Fios extenders.

Shouldn't be a problem. The two extenders will share an aggregate amount of bandwidth available on the Coax between themselves and the router. For example, if that is 1Gbps, then you have 1Gbps for communication between the router and the extender, or from the extender to another extender (LAN to LAN communication). Or if both extenders are going at it, they'll pull from that 1Gbps pool what they can get. Simply connecting two extenders to the Coax does not slow down the network, unless one of the devices uses an older standard of MoCA.
The bigger hit to bandwidth comes with daisy chaining extenders off of each other, which is more common with wireless meshing.
