Two tanks, one with 2m diameter pipe and the other with two 1m diameter pipes which one epties faster?
--------------
All other parameters being equal, the area of the 2 m pipe is 4 times the area of the 1 m pipe.
-----------
The 2 m pipe has 2x the area of the two 1 m pipes, so 2x the flow rate if there are no other differences.
