that's pretty neato actually. yeah use two bucks. don't need to parallel, as long as all the grounds are solidly tied together 5V above ground is still 5V above ground
you cool with SOIC-8 with exposed pad? consider the MP4462, it is a pretty serious converter, maybe even more than you need or want. inductors sufficient for a 3A load at 2MHz are available in a 6x6mm footprint. for freewheel dioes, SS34 is available in an SMA package (SMAF is sexier). I don't think we've hit 12x12mm yet but I haven't considered track width. still more than enough room for the feedback network and bootstrap cap
