But although the total weight would be legal - is there
a max-per-belt rule that would prohibit it?

In most cases there is a limit of 254 lb per belt. This is the approved
load
capacity of the belt. The other two parameters to consider are max gross
and
CG limits. It is rare that max gross accomodates 254+254 lbs. For
example,
the G-103s at my club range from about 394 to 412 lb max carrying
capacity.

true in most cases, but jar22 specs have nothing to do with a 2-32

I was recently told of a similar ride given in a 2-32 using some mixture of
straps, however, I've also heard that the max back seat is supposedly
300lbs, but that may have been one specific airframe. That being said, some
ride operations shoehorn in by volume irrespective of weight. Estimates are
that 2-32's in one of the world's most popular ride venues range as high as
20,000-40,000 hours TTAF, sea air and all.

They just don't build them like that anymore.
