Have a farm that has a house and barn power co. wants to put a meter pedestal. The house and barn are on separate meter now each has a 200 amp panel. There is a 400 amp transfer switch for a pto operated backup generator hooked to the barn. The 320 meter ped has two 200 amp breakers in it . Could I parallel wires off these two breakers to the transfer switch then separate them to two more breakers then onto the house and barn so generator would feed both . Farmer also wants a member owned meter for the house.
parallel off 320 meter ped

Sounds like the early stages of a nightmare.
Look up the rules for parallel conductors. See how that plays out first.

Easier and more common to just use multiple transfer switches.
