Flint 2, The (2) WAN ports connected to same cable modem to increase speed/bandwidth via Multi-WAN's Load Balancing?

I have Cox Communications as my ISP and have their Panoramic WiFi/Cable modem rental equipment, which I have set into Bridge mode thereby making it function as a [DOCSIS 3.1] cable modem only.

If I connect two Ethernet cables from the cable modem (has 4 ports), one to each of the two 2.5G WAN ports of my Flint 2, am I able to use the Multi-WAN and it's Load Balancing configuration to increase the total bandwidth, or even double it?

I know the intended use of Multi-WAN is to have two completely different internet connections inputing into the router, to use one as a failover backup if the main connection has an outage -OR- to use the Load Balancing form of two WANs to increase total bandwidth, speed, etc .....

Still is there any possible use cases of the the two WAN ports of my Flint 2 connected to my single Cox home internet service?

No.
Multi-WAN isn't link aggregation.

And since your ISP won't provide > 2.5 Gbps (I guess?) it wouldn't be possible anyway.
