    Well maybe, because you don't know if the parallel diodes share the current equally .
    But definatly paralleling would raise the current capabilities.
    All that stuff has to do with the temperature/resistance relationships. Some devices like FET's resistance goes up with temp so they tend to balance the current when in parallel, but with silicon diodes, the hotter it gets, the lower the voltage drop gets, so the more current that diode will take.

    Parallel circuits usually use series resistors on the diodes to balance the current.
