If the hole is big enough then go for it.
Two 020's are a lot better than one 025. That's assuming the converter has 4200 uF input capacitance.

First solder one of the devices into the holes. Then take the second device, shorten the leads somewhat and form a loop at the ends of the leads. Then clamp the loop around the leads of the first device. Solder second device to the leads of first device. The parts should now be in parallel.

How is that different from putting their leads in the same holes in the board? You need bigger holes but there is room for that.
Ok, so would two 020s in parallel work with the newer converter that has the bigger thermistor now (possible 25a)?
