I am attempting to add a second Plex server but am not having much luck. My current server is running in a linux box on my local LAN while I’ve set up a second server on an ubuntu VPS using the .deb file. Upon browsing to ip.address/web of the VPS I login using my Plex credentials and am then shown the Plex UI with my existing server. There doesn’t seem to be an option to add a second server. Any advice?

In order to finish the setup you need to not only access the bundled version of Plex Web (=ip.address:32400/web) but do that from a local connection.  
So you might need to establish a SSH tunnel to your VPS to get this going.
