I mean using one card in 2 different frequencies. The card should change frequency every time it wants to send a packet since it should receive acknowledgements(I assume receive only card do not send acknowledgements?) plus tcp etc. require such things also. I think it would cause a lot of latency. Also I think you wont get too far doing that. Still there will be collusions when 2 clients want to send data at the same time. The better solution might be using 2 cards tx/rx in ap and try to set the client channels that half of your clients will use one card and the other half will use the other card. This can be done easily I guess. But the best would be using directional antennas, if you want to use 2 cards then you can use 180degrees panel antennas and make 2 sectors. Also this solution doesnt require any special setup in clients. You can use any kind of software easily.
