Can a collision of multiple supercells cause an extremely powerfull tornado?

From what current research tells us, the high-end EF-5 tornadoes which we have observed in the past ~70 years are about as strong as a tornado can realistically get.

If two or multiple supercells, each with enough energy to produce a high-end EF-5 tornado on their own, were to collide and merge, would this allow for a tornado which in strength and windspeed significantly exceeds the most powerfull tornadoes which we have to date seen?

Protoype Messerschmitt Me 321 Takeoff

Takeoff of a Messerschmitt Me 321 "Gigant" prototype. This was the second largest glider to ever be made and the largest to be mass produced. They were towed into the air by either a Heinkel He 111Z or 3 Bf 110s in a "Troika" formation. The Me 321 was so large, however, that jetissonable rocket boosters had to be added beneath the wings for takeoff.

The one in the photograph is an early version, being towed by a Junkers Ju 90 aircraft which the Germans had designated for glider testing. The same aircraft would also go on to tow the even larger Junkers Ju 322 glider during its testing phase.
