Series connecting primaries is no different at 240 volt than connecting one at 120. Maybe I wasn't clear. We were trying to keep from tripping the breaker, no?

Yurtle,
Sorry, but you cannot series connect NSTs, because practically all of
them have center tapped secondaries which are connected to the cases.
You would see voltage equal to the sum of half of the two secondary
voltages between the two cases.
Paralleling them is fine, series connecting them will not work.

Yurtle,
