I asked the local EV club here your question about using two controllers. The replies were that you probably can do it, but it will not work well and certainly won't be as efficient. Apparently the resistance of each coil is not going to be the same, and you would want some way to try and sync them up which would be a lot of extra hassle. The PWM timing may also mess with the efficiency.
