If torque decreases with the others staying the same, then acceleration must decrease. That's why adding motors increases acceleration, because it adds torque to the drive.

The concept here is correct, but T=I*A/R. The formula that really shows the torque-velocity relationship is Power=Torque*angular velocity, where if torque is increased, then angular velocity must decrease assuming a constant power.
