Question

Anything wrong with connecting L298Ns in parallel?

---

Answer 

Nothing wrong.  Hobbyist do it.  Engineers can also do it.  It also depends on cost/benefit/risk hobbyist/engineer trade offs.

Let me explain, starting with ULN2803, then L298N.

*Part A - ULN2803A Case*

[ULN2803A Darlington Transistor Arrays - TI][1]

3 Description

The ULN2803A device is a 50 V, 500 mA Darlington transistor array. The device consists of eight NPN Darlington pairs that feature high-voltage outputs with common-cathode clamp diodes for switching inductive loads. The collector-current rating of each Darlington pair is 500 mA. 

***The Darlington pairs may be connected in parallel for higher current capability.***

*Part B - L298N Case*

[L298N Datasheet - ST][2]

By the same ULN2803 token, L298N can also parallel output for bigger current.  Since the BJTs in parallel are from the same die, so they should self balancing out their currents.
