I did a repair much like this when I recapped an old 1946 Arvin radio recently. I had no 40uF caps at 150V on hand, only 22uF caps at 450V, so I just combine two to make 44uF at 450V, works perfectly.

Old timers have been doing it, long before we started!
The best hackery, was when the old timers used to carve away, the old-fashioned dog-bone resistors to get the resistance they needed.
