Congratulations on the 4.0 passes!
As for exam order -- per NCARB, there is no recommended or intended order, and NCARB has stated this in more than one publication.
I took all 6 in 5.0 -- to me the order makes little difference, and for every candidate that took the exams in one given order, there is a candidate who has taken the exams in the opposite order. It's completely up to the individual.
For someone like yourself with just the two PPD/PDD exams left -- your inclination to study for both of them at once is totally on point. This could take a while, but for most candidates, 2 to 3 months is ample study time -- I'd shoot for two months. From there, I'd recommend a week's time between exams minimum, and 2-3 weeks maximum time between.
Good Luck!
