Welcome to the Forum! A lot of great people and information here. A great amp you bought! You can not just run a separate speaker out of the back of the cab. What you would need to do is to run a y-cable that will split the signal so you can run two cabs at the same time. You can contact Todd (PCNS on the forum) for more information and to purchase one of his splitters. Reasonably priced and he offers a forum discount.

Welcome. Make sure you get the lowdown on series vs parallel.

IF you want to get equal volume from each of your cabs, it's important to get a cab with the same impedance as you have now, (double check yours to be sure, but Doc usually ships 2x10 cabs with a couple of 16 ohm speakers wired in parallel, for a total cab impedance of 8 ohms). The efficiency rating (for example, 100dB @ 1 watt @ 1 meter) of the speaker also will play into this. So if that's true in your case, you'll want another 8 ohm cab which would give you 4 ohms in parallel or 16 ohms in series.

Ok...so, if my speakers are plugged into the 8 ohm output, can I plug anything into the 4 ohm Jack? Or is that jack for the splitter cable when you want to run two 8ohm loads?

Don't use both jacks at the same time. Use the parallel splitter in the 4 ohm jack and then plug the two 8 ohm loads into the splitter.
