If you have one service that is split in two, doesn't the service panels have to be grouped together in one location?


Dnk....

If they are in the same building, yes. Separate buildings, no. Think of what the power company does for a row of houses.
I assumed from the wording of the original post the garage was separated from the house. If it is attached, then only the CB feed is allowed to a remote panel location.

I would see a problem with placing 300 amp's worth of main breaker on a feeder sized for 200. Use the breaker.


Not feeder, service entrance conductors. [Linked Image]

This is done quite often in multi family dwellings, as long as the conductors are rated for the calculated load.
