Hi,

This is a hypothetical question, if one needs to send more power down
a line than its capacity can 2 or more lines be paralleled? Is the
equivalent characteristic impedance of the combined lines the same as
that of a single individual line?

The short answer is no to the question of the impedence being the same.
though the current would be halfed in each line. I'm not sure that I have
see a four wire open line in the past but if my memory is correct it fed
two dipoles not one.
