From Virtualmin's perspective, it doesn't actually matter which PHP versions you have. You're welcome to install any PHP versions you want.
Now, if you're asking, is there a simple way to install a second PHP version on Ubuntu -- the answer is that it's unfortunately more difficult to do on Ubuntu than it is on CentOS. CentOS has the SCL repo, which is designed to run side-by-side with other packages.
Ubuntu doesn't have that... so you'd unfortunately need to manually install any additional PHP versions you're interested in.
Howdy,
