You don't need the compression step.

Electrolysis is unaffected by pressure, thus, you simply use a version of the Hoffman Apparatus and let the electrolyser compress your O2 and H2 gasses to your desired pressures. There is the issue of the unbalance output of H2 vs O2 so there will be some valving at the least.
