Doesn't sound like an optimal design but regardless, the Auto Last Hop feature will save you here but not if your firewalls are clustered and use VRRP things get a bit sticky.
You can find more information on ALH here: http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/13000/800/sol13876.html.
From a design POV, could you not route the traffic from the additional f/w through the existing one perhaps? No idea of your set-up and even that doesn't sound great I guess. My worry is one day someone will disable ALH and things will go very wrong.
