The extra sun would probably tend to fill in your existing shadow. A shadow is where light doesn't fall, so more suns could reduce shadow

What should happen is that you indeed cast two shadows, but both are relatively weak. Only where they coincide is really dark. Only because the suns are very close, they coincide over most of your shadow. So basically what really happens is that the edge of your shadow — more so the higher up the things casting the shadows are — becomes a little fuzzy.

Source: try putting two lightbulbs fairly close together and look at your shadow.
