I asked the same question. I think the answer is not yet. It would be nice though. Here is my setup:

It would be possible to run D8Bs with two instances of D8Bridge. I don't see why this couldn't work. Here's how to do it.
We'll have to use LoopMIDI because we will need 12 virtual MIDI ports. (6 for each D8B) (MidiYoke is limited to 8)
Once LoopMIDI installed, create 12 MIDI ports. Name them using logic, something like:
- LoopMIDI Port 1 (1st D8B)
- LoopMIDI Port 2 (1st D8B)
- LoopMIDI Port 3 (1st D8B)
- LoopMIDI Port 4 (1st D8B)
- LoopMIDI Port 5 (1st D8B)
- LoopMIDI Port 6 (1st D8B)
- LoopMIDI Port 1 (2nd D8B)
- LoopMIDI Port 2 (2nd D8B)
- LoopMIDI Port 3 (2nd D8B)
- LoopMIDI Port 4 (2nd D8B)
- LoopMIDI Port 5 (2nd D8B)
- LoopMIDI Port 6 (2nd D8B)
Now, everything's double, so you'd need to USB to Serial adapters and two D8Bridge cables. Configure the first D8Bridge instance using the "normal" configuration, make sure it works and configure your DAW accordingly.
Once the first D8Bridge is working good, repeat the operation on a second D8Bridge instance by configuring the "2nd" ports and the secondary USB/Serial port. Add 3 more MCUs to your DAW and it should work fine.
Good luck!
