The idea being to split the amp load over two ports?

Except (2) USB 2's will only net you 1.0 amps.  USB 2.0 = 500 mA.  USB 3.0 = 900 mA.

EDIT:  This will net you 1.4A: https://www.amazon.com/Black-Female-Extension-Mobile-CableCC/dp/B00ZUE6PVE/ref=sr_1_6?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1491193047&sr=1-6&keywords=usb+3.0+y+cable
