You could install a surface wiremold box. Cut out the attachment tabs at
top and bottom (or sides) and run one wiremold straight through the box.
Terminate the other wiremold at the box normally and run the wires
through. You can't have the wires for both loose in the box. I would
strongly prefer to run the power straight through, but it would be more
work.

An interesting solution, I don't know if it would conform to the
intention of the code, but it seems like a safe enough solution.
