No, this is wrong.
Only series connection of two equal-value parts doubles you voltage rating rating.
In your case, the 0.01uF part will drop way more than your 0.05uF part.
To be exact, imagine them as resistors.
And 0.01 part is 5 times more resistance than 0.05.
So, 5/6 of the voltage (in case of 1200V, for example, it is 1000V) is going to be across the 0.01uF part, which is rated 600V. Whereas across he 0.05uF part you will have jusy 200V.
So, no, this won't work.
