This is what 'mixing' is all about.
But, first, I think you have a wing with ailerons and elevators (not
flaps). If you deploy the elevators as flaps which changes the camber of
the wing, you are going to need to compensate for the increase in pitching
momment with something. Maybe ailerons will help, I don't know.
As for your original question, I don't think you will hurt anything
connecting one servo to two or more receiver outputs, but I don't think
the servo will be very happy. It normally receives a pulse of varying
length from the receiver to tell it should be. Getting several different
pulses with conflicting data is going to make it very unhappy.
