This is not legal. R43, Part A states:

Each speed controller branch circuit must be protected by one and only one 20-amp, 30-amp, or 40-amp circuit breaker on the PD Board (from the KOP or identical equivalent). No other electrical load can be connected to the breaker supplying this circuit.
Each speed controller needs its own individual branch circuit.

The easiest solution is going to be to obtain additional circuit breakers: http://www.andymark.com/Power-s/263.htm

You can attach Jaguars to 20 or 30 Amp circuit breakers as well... for a window motor, 20A works just fine - we've never had an issue doing that, and we've put some amazing stress on the window motors in the past.
