It certainly wouldn't HURT.

If you have a modern electrical sevice, a surge protector MAY already be installed at the main panel, and, of course, any plug-in ones would be in series with the BIG one at the panel.

I think the main thing with the plug-in ones in series would be the quality of the ground connections through them, and back to the wall socket when the MOV in the surge protector "crowbars" a spike to ground.
