Another subtlety to be aware of when doing this is the insulation 
between windings and core. If the core is grounded, as it should be, 
and one end of the series string is also grounded, the core at the 
high end of the string is experiencing twice the voltage it was designed for.

In some configurations this is important and in others it is not. 
Just something to keep in mind during the design phase.
