For a couple of bucks maybe a skycap can do it, but w/o knowing for sure Id either change it all to 1 PNR , go the night before or somehow get B6 to combine both PNRs together (which I highly doubt they will do).
If it's a single itinerary, it would not be a problem.
Even if it's separate, one could in theory gate check it through: the white tags allow for hand-written connections. I have seen on a few occasions customers on separate tickets through-check bags this way. It's a sneaky but legal workaround.
