Hi Joseph,
Gary Lau knows much more about transformers than I. He may be right about 
series connecting the lower voltage transformers. I know that from the golden 
age of vacuum
tubes, a filament transformer used to lite up the rectifier filaments was 
floating above the 
HV DC and it was not healthy to exceed the insulation rating of the 
transformer. Someplace I have a 12 V / 30 A filament transformer with a 10 KV 
insulation.
 I would not series connect transformers in the KV range.

Happy day,
