Yes, bridge the end terminals together. I had a T809 19" with a shorted 4-lead safety cap and I had to connect two HV orange drop caps in parallel to get the correct value. I removed the old cap from the chassis, bridged both sets of end terminals together on the chassis, installed the orange drop cap, and the set worked great.

When checking these caps, you will read a short circuit between each set of end terminals. There should be no short when measured from end to end. If it reads shorted or shows any resistance from end to end, it's bad and should be replaced.
