Is the combining done externally to the two PA units? If so, you should
be able to split them and keep one as a reserve.
I just picked up a PA that appears was from a similar arrangement. It
had two SO-239's on the heatsink side, both entering the PA compartment.
Inside, there was no driver board. I drilled and tapped so I could
install a driver and it appears to work just fine.
