Even Ed has mentioned that you will not gain much, if anything from doing so. The noise levels aren't easily improved upon on the SS4000 and SS4000+, but if you have the chance to try it, let us know if you get any improvement without loss due to misregistration.
I did try a multipass (x4) and long pass using the Minolta Dual II and there was some improvement in the shadows in terms of noise, but no real improvement in terms of dynamic range (more levels of gradients).
