You didn't mention the length of wiring run from house to shop, depending on the current draw and distance, that 10 Gauge wire may or may not cause excess voltage drop to be a concern???
I don't think the NEC has changed since then, but we weren't allow to use such small wire in parallel runs IN THE EVENT THE NEC OR ANY OTHER LOCAL AUTHORITY MATTERS TO YOU?? That's between you and them. YES BILLY BOB it could "work" to carry 60 amps of current since 30 amps plus 30 amps equals 60 amps, in theory at least.
So if you were to use parallel runs (NOT my advice) you need to protect the feeder(s) so you "could" therefore use a 60 amp 240 volt 2 pole breaker in your main panel (with proper splicing and feeds to breaker). The other option listed below I believe is to just use 2 panels and 30 amp breakers?
Sounds like youre already well aware for that 120/240 volt single phase SUB Panel you run out 2 UnGrounDED Conductors, 1 Grounded Conductor (Neutral), 1 Equipment GroundING Conductor, DO NOT bond Neutral and Ground at the sub (keep separated and isolated from each other) and dont forget the GroundING Electrode out at the shop.
