I would say that it is possible (remember the controller will be handling 2 motors on each channel so twice the current). Based on the specs of the motor controller you are using i assume you have decently sized motors and highly recommend having individual overload protection for each motor. This way if one motor stalls (or overloads) you will protect your system and anyone around your robot.
