hey Kevin...

the answer is yes...  but you will have to stack the variacs on a 
single control rod. You can run one hot lead of the 240 to one variac 
and the second hot lead to the second variac....

see this page of my web site  look for page 30 of the tech sheet 
listed see connection #1 diagram

if you have a paralleling choke you can use diagram #2
