Hi Lance...

I run a multiple set of NSTs on my small coil ( 4 -at- 12KV -at- 60mA ) the 
primaries are all wired in paralell and the secondaries are all wired in 
paralell for 12KV -at- 240mA approx.

if one would wire the secondaries in series, the chance of overvolting 
the secondary side will be definate. as far as different voltages ... 
 not a good idea, but it has been done with "some" success. ( 2 NSTs in 
series may handle the voltage... rare, but possible ...  3 NSTs in 
series secondary side... doubt it will hold together (( were talking 
triple the voltage beyond the design))

it is better if you have all the NST's at an equal value
