In "Setup / Basic Setup / Network Setup / Time Settings" you have the "Server IP/Name" field.

Does it support multiple servers? What format: space, comma separated, etc?

If i put "time.nist.gov pool.ntp.org" it works fine, faking with a random name the first server could mean the second is used. I say it could becase according to dd-wrt help if no server is available it defaults to an internal one. So the time is set no matter what.

When the box is empty you see the default setting.

You can also see that the entries are space delimited.

also use IP instead resolving name address...as egc noted above...the entries are space delimited:

216.239.35.8 162.159.200.123 129.134.27.123 17.253.126.253

I'm using an older build with no visible defaults, so I'm not sure if it accepts multiple servers. But the default works anyway.

that's the downside of using the old builds, you'd never know...
but even on the old builds it should be ok to use many, as many as you need...the question is how many many... Laughing
2 are fine i guess..

Depends on how old the build is.
