Default Two S3's together for 32 faders

Don't know if this has been asked before, if so sorry for the dupe. Would it be possible possible to use two S3's together to give you 32 faders? I haven't owned a control surface (other that a short period with a C|24) since having a 40 fader Pro Control many years ago and remembered setting each 8 channel fader bucket up in Peripherals individually, allowing it to recognize all 40 channels sequentially. I'm assuming the D-Control Icon worked in the same way and am wondering if the S3 could be configured the same way too. Never been a big fan of banking up and down so much so the idea of 32 faders in such a small footprint is very appealing.

Anyone have an opinion on this?

Thanks

No you can't but you can use 4 artist mixes and a control for 36 fader.

And this would be cheaper and maybe more compact(I feel the S3 faders are too far apart)

S3 faders are exactly the same distance apart as Artist Mix.

By golly, I believe you are right I guess the overall size of it created an optical delusion
