Then get another one to join in on the top, I would imagine the handle of the top one to be too up or down for it to be wield by the left arm. Likewise if you have the original blade to be wield from the top by the left arm first.
If anyone had 2 of those Excalibur from the MG Impluse, could you try my theory out ?

Looking at the image of the MG Sword Impulse in the pose wielding the combined Excaliburs, the left hand doesn't seem to have a problem with wielding the thing at all, as expected - no matter the length of the actual blade, compensations and adjustments can be made using the Impulse's superior arm poseability, coupled with the fact that the hilts on the Excaliburs are very long in the first place, allowing the hand's grip to be adjusted along their length and giving leeway in gripping them (note that the right hand in the image grips towards the blade guard, while the left grips towards the pommel). With the grips on both being very close to the Impulse's center when wielded in such a fashion, whether the blades are long or not is irrelevant in that issue. The Impulse can raise its arm directly above the shoulder, and the grips are shown to be no higher than it's chest, nothing that its arm can't reach.
Of note is that both blades are wielded at maximum length, as shown by the fact that they placed the crystal clear blades on them (obviously from the Force Impulse, since you can see one of them having the beam edge tip).
