Slightly off the subject, but something I'd like you to seriously think about, Duane.
Unlike a parallel circuit box mod, batteries in series do not increase the 'maximum continuous current discharge' (MCCD) amp rating, only voltage, so... I suggest that you read this before you do anything, and consider well why you want a series mod.
To your question...
The net resistance doesn't really care how your batteries are wired. From a safety perspective, the only concern is that your batteries have a net MCCD equal to or (preferably) greater than the continuous current discharge necessary to support that net resistance.
Volts divided by (net) resistance equals required minimum amperage... or V ÷ Ω = C.
Volts squared, divided by (net) resistance equals required minimum wattage... or V² ÷ Ω = P.

I assume you mean a dual parallel coil build on your atomizer, correct? You sure can, granted you understand battery safety and ohms law. You will need to build in a range the keeps your amps below 20A or maybe 30A only if you have legit Sony's. Think around a .45ohm (MAX) total resistance to stay safe. This will generate ~160 watts on fully charged battery's (~8.4V).

You need to some actual loaded volt tests, no one vapes @ 8.4V.
Here's Dicky Duck with fully charged LGHE4's with a 0.5Ω atty, being metered under load.
So he's vaping at ~ 107W and pulling about ~15A. Or 66% of your impossible 160W figure.

I understand there is voltage drop but I typically calculate (for battery safety purposes) my minimum resistance based on the full 8.4V (just to be safe).You need to some actual loaded volt tests, no one vapes @ 8.4V.

Also every box mod does not have the same voltage drop, lights, meters and such all take away as well. His mod may be firing at 107w, my example was a 0.45ohm and if you fire that at 7.33V it's more like 120W...
EDIT:
I just metered my box with a .48ohm build and with 2x off the charger VTC4's I got 7.5V and with 2x off the charger LG HE2's I got 6.9V.
