.htaccess: Similar/ “duplicate” entries advice?

Question: Do I leave my .htaccess as is, or “clean it up”?

Hello,

Rookie user, first site. After some manual editing as well as some code created by a plugin, I now have in my .htaccess file similar entries written in two slightly different ways, that serve the same purpose. In my case, similar blocks of entries exists for two purposes:

(1) cache expiry functionality for various filetypes and headers
(2) GZip/Deflate functionality for compaction and efficiency.

Before installing the plugin that auto-handles the above (WP Fastest Cache), I had manually found relevant code snippets on the internet, and pasted them into my .htaccess file. But now, I have two different sets of code blocks that achieve the same thing.

Is this a problem and how should I handle it?

Thanks!
