This is not the case.

Yes, it is.
(I have never used this controller like that.
But, I am pretty sure it is
from the code and the
Denali's User Guide mentions such usage.)
Just in case, I will clearly rephrase the comment block like follows in v2:
/*
* Support for multi device:
* When the IP configuration is x16 capable and two x8 chips are
* connected in parallel, DEVICES_CONNECTED should be set to 2.
* In this case, the core framework knows nothing about this fact,
* so we should tell it the _logical_ pagesize and anything necessary.

As you expect, if one block is bad,
the correspond block on the other chip can not be used.
