I'm no networking expert, but I've never heard of such an arrangement. 
Your ISP may or may not go for it - they may want to sell you two
connections.  You probably won't be able to do this with one
connection, usually they restrict you to one IP address so to get two
cable modems, you need two IP addresses and two connections - two times
the cost.

Also I don't believe wireless networking can work that way.  The
networks would be competing, not cooperating.  If you set them to the
same channel with the same SSID they'd conflict with each other and the
SB would connect to the strongest one, one at a time, not both.

If you're looking at something this complex, it would be cheaper and
more effective to get powerline adapters, which use your high-power
wiring as networking cables.  But, try out your WRT54GL first.  If you
can't get enough signal, you can return the wireless router and get
powerline adapters.
