Other ideas?

Here's one:

Go ahead and make your two tables with four legs. Fasten the square
"table top" between the two using french cleats on two adjacent sides.

This will give you the flexibility you want, and make fabrication and
design much easier.

The desk top attaching these two tansu cabinets with french cleats
illustrates what I'm talking about.

The desktop has no legs, but keeps the two large cabinet arrays from moving:

While I did not make any effort to hide the french cleats in this case,
that would be quite easy to do with a little thought.

Also, there other french cleat solutions that are off the shelf, like
some of the metal variety.

FWIW ...
