Only if you bridge them with a network - direct connections are not
possible at the moment.
Something like:
                         169.254.169.1   169.254.169.2
              R1 ------- BRIDGE ------- R2
                               |
             |
           INT_NET_1                 INT_NET_2

Also neutron routers do not support at the moment dynamic routing
protocols, so you'll have to manage static routes (eg. INT_NET_1's cidr on
R2 via 169.254.169.1)

Neutron has plans for everything and the exact opposite! If you think it
should support more complex topologies - whatever that might mean - feel
free to share your ideas.

I reckon Horizon pretty much allows for controlling most of neutron API
features. I'm not sure about static routes however.
