Oh forget it. I'm no Richard Feynman. I can't explain the math I've done to show it.
The short version is that using half ropes as twins effectively doubles the peak impact force on the system, whereas using twins as halves cuts the peak impact force on the system in two, but causes the rope to stretch so much it may not be able to absorb all the energy and so break.
