Say I am optomising for a 3 word key phrase, such as blue cheese straws
I get lots of keyword rich liks into page 1, optomised for this phrase, this bit I understand.
Now if I want to optomise a page for the 2 word phrase, "cheese straws" am I better on working on getting inbound "cheese straws" links to page 1, or creating page 2, linking to that from page 1 with the term "cheese straws" and getting new links into page 2?
I would say it would be best to have a page 2 optimised for "cheese straws", and work on getting inbound links to it with "cheese straws" link text. I dont see why you would want to intertwine them at all. Keep them both separate. If someone searches for "cheese straws", page 2 should be #1, if they search for "blue cheese straws", page 1 should be #1.
My opinion anyway :)

I agree... that's the way I would do it.
Ofcoarse, linking exchanges with another "cheese straws" page on another site couldn't hurt. But I tend to focus PR etc... on the main page.

But page 1 already has such a nice head start on the term.
For instance I targetted "wilderness survival" with my survival site. I've been #1 and holding for a couple years now (since 01 I think). Getting ranked #1 for survival was much harder, but I did it, with the same page (the homepage), and with no loss with my other ranking.
It makes sense though for "wilderness survival" and "survival" to be targetted for the homepage of your site, it covers both those terms. I got the impression from the example that "cheese straws" should probably be a separate page to "blue cheese straws". Perhaps it may be reasonable to target both with the same page?

The same page would work for both terms.
My thought on going for a second page would be to spread some of the incoming PR into the site - that way I get to build PR on 2 pages that can themselves help each other.
But then I can see that building overall PR on 1 page should also help both terms.
If the same page would work for both terms, I would focus on the one page. Probably better to have a PR6 than 2 PR5s.

i would use the page for both terms.. very doable.. as the other posters mention.
