That was an experiment somebody did on Twitch a few years back, although only with a single 32X. They posted their findings in this Twitter thread.

tl;dr: It works until it doesn't, each cart is adding some extra power draw and eventually there isn't enough juice for the whole stack.

IIRC just Sonic & Knuckles plus Sonic 2 or Sonic 3 isn't happy when plugged into a 32X

Weird. The 32x has its own power supply.
