This engine seems to have just one vent tube, is this enough? Could this one be eliminated and just use the one on the center housing?

Apparently so. I don't know of anybody that has increased the  size of the
oil pan vent or had any trouble with oil pan venting.
Blow by the oil seals on a Mazda does not seem to be as big a
problem as it is on piston engines.
