Edit:

As to your question about the "Y" connector:

Yes you could do that. Make sure that each CIM motor is connected to it's own motor controller, and each of those motor controllers are connected to different WAGO slots.

Keep in mind, whatever PWM signal you send into the "Y" cable will be sent to both. You can't address each motor controller individually that way. So make sure that the motors spin the correct directions and aren't fighting each other once inside the gearbox.
Fantastic info. Thank you.
