No, you can't do that. Some toroidals do not join the "center tap" unless you solder them together. (Found that out the hard way). You can't parallel the 400-0-400 because the two halves are out pf phase with one another.

There is a solution! Get a nice 300-500mA, 5 to 10 henry choke and choke load your rectifier with the 400-0-400 transformer. You will get a very nice 350 volts.
