It's legal--or rather, not prohibited. Q&A confirmed this

What is also unclear, is whether there will be enough signal strength from the side car to both talons? Does y-ing the digital side car pwm reduce signal voltage?

Parallel connections divide current, not voltage. Shouldn't be any reduction in signal voltage.

Finally we may be running 4 cim motors on our transmission. Once again can we y the pwm cables to these motors?

See above.
