No. They cannot.
Rule 42 says this.
Quote:
R42 Each power regulating device may control electrical loads per Table 4-4. Unless otherwise noted, each power regulating device
may control one and only one electrical load.

The manual trumps other documents.
The sheet is worded poorly. Because it says the same thing but is not straightforward.

Motor/Actuator Power – CIMs, AM 9015s, Banebots, & VEX motors must be fed by only one (1) motor controller. Each motor controller may have up to two (2) of other motors connected to load terminals (Table 4-4). Single specified motors may be connected to Spike (however multiple pneumatic valves may be driven by a single Spike). <R42, Table 4-4>
