The heaters and seat motors should be on separate circuits. If you look at the wiring for the seats there is a pair for the heater, a pair for the seat motors and pair for the seat belt interlock. You new S4 seats will have a pair for the side impact airbag.
No way should you combine them. Changing the fuse without upgrading the rest of the wiring is not a good idea.

I think you're just confused.
You don't need to change the 10A fuse, you will be adding a 30A fuse. I just did this for the first time, it was easier than I expected. The power block under the driver's knee bolster is easy to access, and I grounded to one of the bolts at the front of the seat.
