Never heard of 'stacking the bearings" but if it's been oil starved, you're likely looking at both the rod and crank bearings being toast, you can probably reuse the actual con rods, but you're probably looking at a crank and rod and main bearings.
FWiW you may be able to get a new short block for cheaper (depending on if you're doing the labor or not)
might want to check that out before going to all the trouble of taking the engine out (because it's going to have to come out to replace the rod brgs, the crank, and the main brgs)

If you spin the bearing they will actually stack on top of each other.
The crank and whatever rods spun will need work. You will need crank bearings rods( Spun ones) and luck.
