Aside from the concern about the accusation of magic, the writers of
Matthew
and
Luke
may have noticed that
Mark
's two spittle-healing stories seem rather similar. In both stories, Jesus pulls the person away to a private spot. Possibly they rejected both stories because they thought the two accounts were variants of the same recollected incident, but had no clue which was closer to the facts. Notice that none of the other evangelists could accept
Mark
's tale of two mass feedings.
Even so, there was nothing to stop Jesus from performing more than one spittle miracle, nor from needing privacy when he did so.
Compare
John 9:6,7

Psalm 89:11-14

Compare
John 9:6,7
6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,
7 And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent). He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.

Psalm 89:11-14
11 The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.
12 The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.
13 Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.
14 Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.
