Again, talking about a 14,400v supply:

Quoting Richard Hull:

OK, this is almost a done deal (at least as far as the decision
to upgrade by adding a second pig). One question:

I have already wired the LV windings on my pig in parallel (rated
at 120 volts). When adding a second pig is there any reason not
to wire the LV windings on the new unit in parallel to match the
first one, then placing both parallel wired LV winding sets in
series for 240 volts?

A little different from the norm (ha) perhaps, but I can't see
any reason why it should be a problem as long as the phasing is
correct.
