One solenoid will take the same amount of time as two because they are limited by the supply line to the solenoids, the air for both cylinders has to come from the same place (pressure regulator) it does not matter when it splits off, whether before or after the solenoid(s), having two solenoids will not make a noticeable difference. There are other ways to get around this if you absolutely need it to be faster.
