After adding nic to host, add to existing vSwitch or create new vSwitch?

recently i was going to swap a 2 pot nic in my ESXi 6.7 host with a 4 port card, but now decided to keep it and have 6 ports.


  8086 11bc  PRO/1000 PT Quad Port LP Server Adapter
  8086 115e  PRO/1000 PT Dual Port Server Adapter

 

 
currently the host has these vSwitches:

 

vSwitch0     "VM Network"                       vlan id: 0

vSwitch0     "Management Network"        vlan id: 0
vSwitch1     "VM Network 2"                    vlan id: 0

 

 

do i add another vSwitch i.e., vSwitch2 and assign the new nic to it? or add the new nic to an existing, i.e., vSwitch1?

 

I'm following this thread as a howto, How to use vmnic0 and vmnic1 properly for performance?  but I don't see via web client where to add the physical nic to say, vSwitch1
