"if anyone knows how to use the same "random link" JavaScript multiple times on the same page"

assuming you mean different sets of links for each, you could do something like

<script>
  var sites_a = [
    "/url/of/option/one",
    "/url/of/option/two"
  ];

  var sites_b = [
    "/url/of/different/option/one",
    "/url/of/different/option/two"
  ];

  function randomSite(sites) {
    var i = parseInt(Math.random() * sites.length);
    location.href = sites[i];
  }
</script>

<a href="#" onclick="randomSite(sites_a);">Click me to go to a random site in set A</a><br>
<a href="#" onclick="randomSite(sites_b);">Click me to go to a random site in set B</a>

you can add as many arrays as you want, as long as you pass the right one to randomSite in the onclick handler
