Josh is the right person to handle this part, though it's just a
matter of setting up the transmit mux and interleaving the samples.

Yes.

Your baseband frequency needs to be representable without aliasing
given the baseband sample rate. With interp=400, the baseband rate is
128e6/400 = 320kS/s, so you should be able to represent anything from
about -150kHz to +150kHz.
For your MIMO usage, set both the side-A-tx-freq and side-B-tx-freq to
the same value, say 906e6.
The example multiplies the signals by 10000. Try using a smaller
value for if_gain, say 4000.
