USB 3.0 20-pin 'splitter' ?

Do they make a USB 3.0 20-pin Y-adapter male that splits into 2 x 20-pin females? Is that even possible?

I have a couple devices that I want to use that are 20-pin males, but my motherboard 'only' has one. I do notice that some newer high-end motherboards have 2 nowadays.
 
No, that wouldn't work/doesn't exist.
There are USB 3.0 PCIe cards that would provide a 2nd USB 3.0 connector.
 
Side note: there are converter cables on eBay that are supposed to allow using a USB 2.0 motherboard header connected to a front panel USB 3.0 port, but only at the slower USB 2.0 speed.
Not a recommended solution: did not work at all for me.
 
I would recommend a USB 3.0 hub. I have two of them, they're inexpensive and work great. You need a spare power outlet, though, they're not bus powered.
