Yes, but...
I'd tend to say "You can cast magic three times before the contest" (keeping in with the three-casting pre-contest limitation we've already discussed). If he wants to take a Multiple Targets penalty then he can cast it on several people in one "Casting". Note that he can't use the Auto Augment rules for casting on multiple targets - he'll have to roll for it, since he faces penbalties.
(Yes, I know, you can use the multiple casting rule to get more than 3 augments-via-magic before the contest using my rationalization here. Deal with it.)
If he wants to cast it during the contest, then again it has the multiple target penalty (-3/person after the first)

It is by my order and for the good of the state that the bearer of this has
done what he has done.
