I have no idea on how to do that from FL Studio, perhaps could you post your question on FL Studio related forum?
But if this can be done through MIDI, creating a virtual MIDI cable between two FL studio instances should be enough. The whole MIDI flow is transmitted through CopperLan.
For the MIDI controllers, it is not necessary to pass through CopperLan to handle them from FL Studio. You can, of course, but in this case you should create a virtual MIDI cable between the CopperLan representation of the MIDI device and a VMIDI port that you open in FL Studio. Some CopperLan users do this with very old MIDI stuff having a specific driver that is no more available in 64-bit, they host the device on a old 32-bit Windows system and use CopperLan to make it available from their DAW running on a recent 64-bit system. But in most cases, you can just disable the MIDI device related port from CopperLan (CopperLan Manager's Edit tab, MIDI on your computer, MIDI to/from CopperLan, device, enable/disable) to be able to use it as is from any MIDI software running on the computer hosting the MIDI device. MIDI port drivers are usually single instance drivers under Windows, it means that you can open it from a single MIDI software at a time. Handling a MIDI port from CopperLan prevents using it from another application, so you have to disable the MIDI<->CopperLan bridge if you want to use a MIDI device directly from your DAW.
