One solenoid for two cylinders is legal. Two solenoids for one cylinder is not legal.

There used to be a rule that limited the Cv (flow coefficient) of solenoid valves on the robot, causing the solenoid to be a bottleneck in the flow path. That rule has since been removed. However, larger Cv solenoid valves are generally larger and/or heavier, so multiple cylinders on multiple solenoids may be a good alternative depending on your design constraints.
