If you palisade ~15 tiles apart, it can help. A battering ram can only be moved so far before it breaks. About 7 over normal terrain, roughly double over paved. Don't quote me on those numbers, I don't recall exactly, but it's less than 20 tiles I remember. Anyways, if the two palisades are that far apart, then that means repairing the ram from one attack to another, and that's, what, and 8 hour delay extra? Not much, but sometimes the little bits count.
Palisade touching palisade is worthless, so easy to just push the ram one tile and continue. A few pots of tea and the stamina cost of destruction is null. Or just burn stamina, you're about to be eating your enemy's stores anyways.
