I do not think you can do this. before fitting my second alternator I did a lot of research.
Several marine sites talked about synchronised dual installations, and that you need a sophisticated regulator, and each alternator has to be exactly the same.
Think about it, how will the regulator of one alternator sense battery charge when another alternator is throwing 14.2 volts in.
On reflection, I think you would have to bypass the internal regulator of both alternators and connect them to an external regulator.
I think the other issue is the back current on the diodes.
I will stress here that I am not an electrician, but have fitted a second alternator , but as completely different circuit to a second battery. I wasn't game to tempt fate.
I think the best place to find out is marine alternator suppliers as they sometimes apparently link two together.
