For 2 or more piezos just connect the reds together and the blacks together (parallel).

the main thing to know is that piezos want to combine in parallel, where they improve each other significantly and not in series, where they'll scream like a matching pair of fish wives

  Yep red and red join together and call that hot and black and black join together call that ground, and that's parallel. So the output is pickup one + pickup two.
  
  A series connection would be connecting the red from one of them to hot, the black from the other to ground, then the loose one from each hooked together so signal must pass through both rather than one or the other, think of this as pickup one multiplied by pickup two rather than addition if that makes sense. Don't do this with piezos.
  
  (This is an over-simplification and some would argue that subtraction and division would be better metaphors..)
