So if you wanted to connect both chambers and run them in a series then you would need to connect either the top two chambers or the bottom two chambers. The official kit is supposed to be used to connect the bottom two plugs. This way water will flow into pump A, go into the reservoir on the left (if you're looking at the reservoir from the front), flow out of the left reservoir, go through the 180 degree connecter, into the reservoir on the right, and out through pump B.
In this image, the blocking piece that I'm talking about is the acrylic piece in the top/right chamber. It effectively seals off the chamber and makes is so water flows past the chamber without entering it. You don't have to use this though. When I installed it in my 452x2 it took a long time and a lot of patience to get the entire thing but back together and Martin from martinsliquidlab.com doesn't think it's makes much of a difference.
When you're done it should look similar to this only wider. The 452x2 and the 402x2 are practically the same reservoir just built for different pumps.

Hey that's awesome. Thanks!
I'm going to bother you again, though, since I want to try to get this setup tonight.
So wait a second, connecting the 180-degree connector on the bottom doesn't just connect the left side? It connects both the left and the right? I was under the impression that putting the plug in separated the two chambers there and then the 180-degree connector connects either the left side or the right side to itself. Does that make sense?
So in reality, the 180-degree connector connects the left side and the right side of the reservoir?
Is this why the plug is recommended? So that the water doesn't get sucked through that hole and cause a slight loss of pressure or am I missing the point completely?
Thanks so far mith, awesome help much appreciated.
EDIT: So do I really need the bleeding pipe then?
