An A/C system is engineered so the heat rejected by the condenser will match the latent heat of vaporization produced by the evaporator plus heat of compression. The proccess is complex with a delicate balance of volume and pressures. Ideally the vapor entering the condeser should be totally "condensed" into liquid just before it leaves (the condeser). Theoreticaly, adding another condeser downstream might produce some extra sub-cooling but it seems likely it would also incresed head pressure which would add more heat of comression, reducing system efficieny. In short a lot of work for little return.
