Can you tunnel a single connection through two ISP's for more bandwidth?

Hello. OpenVPN newbie here.
Got two ISP's. Trying to take advantage of both ISP's simultaneously for more bandwidth. Standard routing can do this with something like this:
ip route add default scope global nexthop via ...
However, this way a single connection will just go via one ISP and no performance is gained. Only multiple TCP connections and/or UDP would improve performance, and I'm not sure about UDP.
Does OpenVPN provide a good way to split a connection's packets so half of them go via one ISP and the other half go via the other ISP, and a server on the other side joins the pieces?
Would the OpenVPN server need any special setup to make this work? Is there a way to do it that works with most OpenVPN servers publically available?
