No, you can repeat the "Process" and "ProcessMatch" options in the
block, e.g.:

  <Plugin "processes">
    Process "foo"
    Process "bar"
    ProcessMatch "qux.* --interesting=true"
  </Plugin>

For "selected" processes (i.e. those matching Process{,Match}) it
collects the Resident Segment Size, which is approximately the physical
memory used by the process. Virtual memory size is currently not
submitted, I think.
