Not sure if I fully understand what you try to accomplish...

If you want to load multiple EXS instruments into one EXS instance: 
that can't be done, and you'll have to create a layered instrument to 
achieve the same effect.  Open instrument editors for both 
instruments, select all and copy in one and then paste in the other. 
Save under a new name and load in the EXS.  If both original 
instruments have all zones assigned to a group (so that the merged 
instrument ends up having two groups, one for each instrument) then 
it's rather straightforward to assign e.g. the 1st instrument to 
Out1-2 and the 2nd to Out3-4.  Note though that both instruments will 
play simultaneously, since the EXS isn't multi-timbral.

If you want multi-timbral EXS use: can't be done either.  Just load 
up 2 EXS instances.  If you want all midi to remain on one track 
(carrying e.g. data on channels 1 and 2, to be sent to 2 different 
EXS's), cable a Channel Splitter into both EXS mixer strips (outlet 1 
to the 1st and outlet 2 to the 2nd) and assign the Arrange track to 
this Channel Splitter.

If you want 'plain' multi-outputs: please realise that you need to 
edit the EXS instrument to take advantage of multiple outputs.  In 
the instrument editor, assign zones or groups to Out1-2, Out3-4, etc.

If none of the above answers your question, then please rephrase the 
question in a way such that someone with my limited abilities can 
understand it :).

Thanks...
