you only need one key and the related certificate, so you are fine with
the two files that mkcert.sh creates for you. Just set the ssl_key_file
and ssl_cert_file directives once in the global section of your
configuration.

What you _can_ do (and that's what the Wiki says) is to configure a
separate key/certificate pair for each daemon. One for the imap daemon
and a different one for the pop3 daemon and only then you would need 4
files (2 * (key + certificate)).
