It overwrites the first value with the second one. You can also run:
# service auditd state
to see what the current value is if your audit daemon is somewhat recent.

Hey Steve, a follow up. Is the man page for auditd.conf wrong? My auditd
failed to start when giving space_left with a '%' sign.
space_left
This is a numeric value in megabytes that tells the audit daemon
when to perform a configurable action because the system is
starting to run low on disk space. You may also append a percent
sign (e.g. 5%) to the number to have the audit daemon calculate
the number based on the disk partition size.
Thanks!
