Is it a good idea?
For example, using 2 MOTs with single stage CWs (2 diode, 2 cap), one in positive polarity and the other in negative.
Or, doing this with the multiplier already in the microwave (1 diode, 1 cap) so the waveforms are ac with respect to ground and dc with respect to each other. (Does this even work at all? I'm not sure...)

That guy did it with only 2 caps and 4 diodes, but 2 reactors. What's the difference between his circuit and yours?
There is not really much of a difference, if im not mistaken. The link's is only a doubler, with two de-Qing diodes. I made Conner's schematic, and it worked great. Like him i used low capacitance, and high breakrate, up to 3000BPS and could still get 2 foot sparks. I highly suggest it.
Jeep in mind, you can always use series lytics for the doubler. Make sure you have a juicy reactor, if it is not big enough the current can rise faster, and your lytics will get hot. That is not good! Also, the reactor will see around 2 times the voltage of the supply. I used 4 MOTs in series, and they all officially died.

Almost all electronics / power supplies / appliacnes, that have a selector switch between 115 and 230VAC utilize a switched-in voltage doubler. Just keep in mind, large stacks of multipliers aren't very efficient and also have a inherit current limiting characteristic.
