Can I plug in 2 heaters into one socket on the PC4? And if so.. If there anything else I can do this for? Powerheads, skimmer/light (those two stay on all the time)

Is there any risks involved in this?

You can split the outlet and run multiple things off each outlet. Just don't exceed max amperage draw per outlet.

Found this info elsewhere and thought I'd share info, outlets 1 and 4 are 8 amp, 2 and 3 are 3 amp

I would highly recommend the Reefkeeper Expansion Socket. It's designed for exactly what you want to do. It has a dedicated plug to supply electricity, and a second plug that goes to you PC4 (or 8) to control whatever you plug into it.

EDIT TO ADD:

HERE's a link that explains it better.

I had my 2 wp40's and 2 my wp25 hooked up to 2 splitters into 2 outlet on same PC4. I also had two 120 3watt EverGrow LED lights (2 chords for each unit) hooked up to splitters and again hooked up to another 2 outlets blue blue then white white to two other outlets. As far as two heaters well, I don't know?
