Paralleling the secondaries is fine, you will only

exceed the VA rating of the transformer (assuming a

(centre tapped or Bridge), to avoid any DC component in the secondary, as
this can lead to saturation at lower VA loads than would be normally
expected (unless the transformer is designed for half wave rectification).
Thanks, Jim. That's the answer I was looking for!
