There is no way. Microsoft made it so the Play and Charge Kit only receives power. I believe there is some other data that is sent to the controller as well that someone decoded but there is no data sent to the computer from the controller. I will try to dig up a link.
On the other hand, you could just buy a wired controller, those are about as expensive as the wireless receiver, work on both PC and Xbox/Xbox360, and you'd have an extra controller for a friend.
This wireless receiver product description on amazon specifies that you can use up to 4 wireless controllers with one single receiver.
To pair multiple controllers to the same receiver, simply follow these instructions for each separate controller.
To summarize the instructions:
- Plug in the gaming receiver to a USB port on your computer
- Use the "Install Automatically" option if the Add New Hardware wizard pops up
- Download the XBOX wireless controller software from here and install
- Once installed, turn on the controller by pressing the middle 'X' button
- Press the connect button on the receiver (the light flashes green)
- Press the connect button on the wireless controller (pictured below).
Your Xbox wireless controller should now be connected to your machine. Repeat steps 4-6 for each additional controller.

Best Answer
It depends on the type of receiver you are using. The official Microsoft devices allow you to connect multiple devices so it depends entirely on what controllers you are using.
I've personally used the Xbox One wireless receiver to play four player games (Party Saboteurs in this case) on a pc, and it worked like a charm.
If you are using an unofficial adapter, check the site out to ensure it allows multiple connections.
So in short: You will need the appropriate receiver, and just one will be fine.
