In general this is not a good idea. but do this safely you would need to
replace your 40A with a 20 amp double pole. Or two 20 amps breakers with the
handles tied together. (That is if you are using 12 ga wire)
If you did not change the breaker then you would have to keep using the
larger wire (6ga?) on the entire circuit.

You couldn't use 4 (2 for each side) 20A receptacles?

Code violation. Breakers are not permitted to be connected in parallel.

And why would I have suggested such a thing?
