No, as engaging second autopilot will cause the autopilot to trim slightly nose up at 400ft RA to provide "flare spring bias". This enables the aircraft to slighly pitch up in the event of autopilot disconnect/failure. This obviously wouldn't be desired when manual landing is planned, so single autopilot is used for approach in that case.
