To get the equivalent value of two in series, you have to use caps twice the value. In this case, you'd put (2) 250 ufd caps in series to get the equivalent of 125 ufd. It's advisable to also put equalizing resistors across each cap to make sure that the voltage division is equal to prevent one cap from having a higher-than-rated voltage across it.
