Before the days of plugin delay compensation on all objects my  
favourite way of doing drums in EXS was to load the same multisampled  
kit into 4 -6 instances of EXS - some stereo, some mono. It was  
completely no problem and saved ram a lot and allowed separate  
processing of each sound without having to worry about PDC at all. So  
the answer is yes EXS shares the same samples very well.

I'm not sure weather if there were some used samples common between  
two different instruments that EXS would detect that and not use up  
the extra memory. I suspect it only works when loading the exact same  
instrument more than once.
