Re: PWM
Yes that is legal. You cannot split PDP power but you can split PWM signal

Re: PWM
You can also use an MXP extension board to get the extra PWM pins from there.

Re: PWM
If you're running two servos (as opposed to two motor controllers), make sure your 6V and 0V wires are big enough to carry the current to drive both servos; don't use a 26AWG PWM cable.
