In many parts of Europe, it’s common for workers to take off weeks at a time, especially during the summer. Envious Americans say it’s time for the U.S. to follow suit.
Some 66% of U.S. workers say companies should adopt extended vacation policies, like a month off in August, in their workplaces, according to a Morning Consult survey of 1,047 U.S. adults.

You can split your vacation time into multiple parts, but one of them must be at least 14 calendar days. It may be hard to claim a whole month, but two weeks should be possible.
It is! It was more convenient for me to have two different weeks during the summer. One of my co-workers is having 3 consecutive weeks this September (she's getting married).
That would depend on your country, there is no EU law that makes having two consecutive weeks of holiday mandatory.
