I'm assuming any statistical problems would be lessened if the output
of the generators was broadened. So maybe instead of 0 to 1048576,
maybe the individual generators should output 0 to 4294967296.
More?


Lessened but not removed. An alternative to try would be to sum the two outputs, if the answer is odd use the output from PRNG-1 if it is even use the output from PRNG-2. but it would be much better to use a proper CSPRNG.
