You would have to go through some gymnastics (read: soldering) to get that
reference into the second B100, and some code rework to recalculate clock
rates based on a 64MHz (or divisor of 64MHz) instead of 10MHz.

Yes, this is what the ref in connectors are for. The external reference is
independent of the sample rate. The B100s will continue to operate
normally, except locked to each other.
