Yes, you can put FETs in parallel -- a technique I've used many times for motor controls. There are things you need to keep in mind, such as being sure to use identical parts, and keep them at the same thermal potential. You also need to understand the gate drive requirements that can change dramatically when you put FETs in parallel.... and that the PCB layout is critical, keeping traces identical and sized properly. Most of this is learned from many years of experience and trial and error, and not well discussed in technical literature. Well, it wasn't when I was learning it....
