When attempting a second compilation, instead of asking
A Compilation process is running; kill it? (yes or no)
ask
A Compilation process is running;a kill it? (yes or q)
which is more telling instead of "no". Better yet, ask
A Compilation process is running; kill it? (yes, c, q, ?)
c - launch a parallel compilation.

As a native English speaker, I disagree. "q" presumably means quit, but
that could mean quit the compilation or quit the current operation.
"Kill it?" is a yes-or-no question, so its prompt is fine.

Is Emacs capable of launching a concurrent compilation process?

Well, you can always rename the compilation buffer and then run
(compile) once again, and viola! you have two compilation processes.
I guess what Dan would like to have is that when answering with `c'
the current compilation buffer would be renamed, and one would get the
usual "Compile command:" prompt. I.e. a short cut for:
(switch-to-buffer "*compilation*")
(rename-uniquely)
(compile)
Cheers!
