It is possible to increase the current capacity of a LM2596, XL4005 or XL4015 module by connecting two of them in parallel.
However, they must come from the same batch -- this ensures that their characteristics will be close.
In addition, it's important that they share a heatsink, to prevent one of them from going into thermal runaway.
This method will increase the safe current capacity by about 40%.
