10A On Ez-B

I got the voltage regulators 1084-5.0 now. As this voltage regulator supplies the power only to the 5V and doesn't reach the microcontroller, is is okay if I use two of them in parallel to get 10A output on EZ-B to drive all the servos, this way I can avoid external power supply to the servos... Can the etching of the EZ-B take 10A?
