They will never evenly split the current unless they are designed for load sharing. Works great for redundancy purposes which your original post talks about.
But not so well of you actually need more current that one can provide by itself. There are tricks you can do like ballast resistors in series etc but if you really need more current than one can do by itself it is better to use units that are designed to do that.

There are several suppliers that sell MOSFET based redundancy modules that have about 1/10 the voltage drop of diodes, if you are worried about that.

Can i connect 2 or more RSD DC-DC converters in parallel for redundancy purposes?
