Does 300 Watt heater exceed RA specs?

I have a 300 watt heater. Is it ok to plug into the RA relay box, or does it exceed the specs? I'm wondering if it would be better to use two smaller heaters.
Thanks,
Ted

Really depends on the amps.
I'm running a 500 watt Finnex on mine, with no problems.

5A per outlet, with a 10A max for the box.
300W/120v = 2.5A (assuming you're in the US) so you should be fine.
