But, to answer Matthew's original question, sure.. remove the primary from
one transformer and use it to replace the secondary on another and you'll
have a dandy isolation transformer.  I wouldn't count on it for 10's of kV,
but it probably is good to 3000-5000V (sort of general HiPot test voltage
for consumer stuff)...  Advantages would include less core and copper loss
(over the two transformer back to back approach), lower mass, and smaller
volume.
