You could probably wire speakers only to the left channel post on one Amp and only the right channel post on the other Amp. Then in the Sonos app, set the Balance all the way to the left on the first Amp and all the way to the right on the second Amp. Then group both Amps together in the Sonos app when you stream music. I wouldn’t recommend this setup for TV audio though.

Don’t count on the two AMP’s staying time aligned. I’d be interested in learning about your results.

Why spend on two amps if the cable runs can be shortened as I have suggested?

After some further thought.. While I’m not so sure that there will be an overall benefit for establishing separate LEFT and RIGHT AMP’s, you could use one AMP as the input, Group the two AMP’s and simply connect only one output of each AMP. Note that, if you are very sensitive to shifts in the soundstage, you will notice some subtle shifts over several hours of listening.

Only you know what sounds “best” (to you).
