Xxx.
Unfortunately no. Except it you fly, let's say, DUS-AMS-CAN, with the first flight operated by KLM, you would be allowed 2 bags for the entire trip. For CAN-AMS-DUS however, it is different as the KLM leg is the second. Some airlines let you use the most generous baggage allowance on a multi-city itinerary, some don't.
I really hope there will be some consistency in the future regarding extra bags on ST.
