Nah, the reason that Vanitas + Ventus was a shortcut was because it was just 1 darkness and 1 light, with the 1 darkness being 100% darkness and the 1 light being 100% light. It did lead to the summon of the X-blade, but... uh... Damn it, I can't come up with a clever way to combine Vanitas and Ventus' names. V^2 (V-squared) was wielding the X-blade, and it shattered all over again as soon as he was defeated.

The proper way is apparently to have the same numbers of people representing the individual shards of the X-blade fight each other, to get the pieces to go back together, which... I guess will apparently open the way to Kingdom Hearts. So, what he's gearing up to do in KH3 apparently isn't a shortcut.
