This could be done, but you need to have into account the amperage of the fans you are chainning.
For example, on a MSI MB the max amperage of the fan headers are 1A, you could chain 2 x 0.36A fans with enought safety or even 3x 0.36A working slightly over the max of the power at max but still within an usual safe 10%.
