this will work already, but not if the 2 cards have different interleave configurations. you just define a "multi" device, and use it. either gang a bunch of similar consumer devices (e.g. 16 bit stereo, interleaved) or use a big enough multichannel card. but not both, until someone fixes the code (and it will hard to do, because it messes with some core assumptions that JACK's alsa_driver uses to make itself efficient). >Eg2.
