Paralleling semiconductors is generally not advised unless you compensate for their negative temperature coefficient. What will happen is the one with the slightly lower Vf value will do most of the work until it overheats and fails. Then the next one, then the next, until all are gone. Something like this would be better; single diode with 0.360v drop @ 19A. Gonna be a little expensive.
