Refer to the 'DC Guidelines' section on page 10-32 of the "cyclone ii device handbook (https://www.altera.com/content/dam/altera-www/global/en_us/pdfs/literature/hb/cyc2/cyc2_cii5v1.pdf)". It'll comfortably do what you need.

Doubling up pins for greater current capacity isn't recommended. However, many have done it before...

Cheers,

Alex
