I think a CVT type transmission, like a hydraulic CVT, would make more sense. If I were to make a two engine vehicle, I'd make one that would run near peak efficiency while cruising at highway speed, and the other for use only during acceleration. That way I wouldn't have a large engine running far from peak efficiency just so it can have enough power to accelerate quickly. But I don't thing that would work with your differential idea.
