Yes: I have seen eight monitors connected to a single PC - you may need to see if the video card you are using supports it however.
Once you have them connected and the driver configured to show them in the correct place, they will act as a single monitor as far as screen addressing is concerned: put the video player app in the middle of each screen and then maximize it - it will fill just the one screen.

Depending on resolution however, you may have bandwidth problems: high res video needs a lot of disk activity which may cause stuttering on less powerful PCs. But I can high full screen video on both my monitors without problems, and my PC is not state of the art.
