Possible but not practical unless the generators are designed for
parallelling. Requires careful regulation of fuel to properly hold the
frequency and to share real (resistive, in phase) power load and requires
regulation of voltage to properly share reactive (inductive or capacitive,
out of phase) power loads. Otherwise the generators will "fight" each other
trying to control the frequency and voltage.

It is much, much easier to just split the load if you want two generators.
