    The *biggest* problem I can think of with this arrangement, is 
synchronizing the waveforms in all those primary-secondary drivers. 
Perhaps if you ran them all in series and/or parallel  off the same spark gap?
    More feasibly done in solid-state; indeed, there have been some 
posts here within the past year about topologies to couple multiple 
drivers to a single transformer core to generate high voltage output 
while isolating the drivers from each other.
