There is no problem with adding the 5 volt supply to a +/-15 supply. 
You could make your own MOTM-like distribution PCB for the dot com
connectors if you did not want to use the dot com style harness.

It really does not matter since they are different sizes.  The MOTM
is MTA-156.  Dot com is MTA-100.  I don't have the pin out for the
dot com modules.  But the nice thing about the MTA100 is that you can
get a generic proto or stripboard PCB and mount the MTA headers to it
since the pin spacing is the same as the 0.1" spacing on protoboards.

The common point for the 2 grounds of the separate power suppies
should be right at the power supplies.  Be sure to make both the AC
earth ground and the DC side ground common to both supplies.  But,
keep the earth goound and DC ground separate.

Of course, the right answer is buy the 3 output triple supply since
you will eventually need more power supply to feed your addiction. 
I've got one that is 5000ma each +/-15 and I have outgrown it.
