I just wanted to provide a more complete answer, since it took a while for me to get a solution together using D..'s answer.

And yes - it looks like I'm trying to print something, but I'm just exporting to Excel, I promise.

using DevExpress.XtraPrinting;
using DevExpress.XtraPrintingLinks;
using DevExpress.XtraGrid;

class whatever
{
    GridControl grid1;
    GridControl grid2;
    //.....

    public void exportToExcel()
    {
        using (var saveDialog = new SaveFileDialog())
        {
            saveDialog.Filter = "Excel (.xlsx)|*.xlsx";
            if (saveDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
            {
                var printingSystem = new PrintingSystemBase();
                var compositeLink = new CompositeLinkBase();
                compositeLink.PrintingSystemBase = printingSystem;

                var link1 = new PrintableComponentLinkBase();
                link1.Component = grid1;
                var link2 = new PrintableComponentLinkBase();
                link2.Component = grid2;

                compositeLink.Links.Add(link1);
                compositeLink.Links.Add(link2);

                var options = new XlsxExportOptions();
                options.ExportMode = XlsxExportMode.SingleFilePageByPage;

                compositeLink.CreatePageForEachLink();
                compositeLink.ExportToXlsx(saveDialog.FileName, options);
            }
        }
    }
}    

Hope it saves somebody a little time.
