From an application development perspective, this is an absolutely trivial feature. All it would take is a simple serializable settings class object, and small settings UI screen...and a rerouting of trade signals through a basic "multiplexing" routine based on said settings object.
Not having this feature is a serious shortcoming for a $1,500 software package. Why would you configure a "multiple broker" version that can not actually manage multiple instances of the same order strategy at the same time? Multiple broker as long as it is not at the same time. This is sort of like advertising that you are "Open 24 Hours!"....("but not in row")
I can think of a lot more valid situations where this feature would be desired...vs placing trade 1 with 1 broker...and trade 2 with another. Examples are prop / pro traders / CTA types that are trading for clients with discretionary trading authorization / power of attorney. Another case might be someone who has money in a sheltered IRA or trust account...and capital in a normal unsheltered account, and wants to execute the same trade at the same time.
