Two 5 lb. roasts will cook faster than a single 10 pound one as long as they are separated in the roasting pan. In part this is because a smaller roast will always cook faster than a larger one. In part, this is because by cutting the 10 lb. roast in half and separating the halves, you are increasing the surface area of the meat. The greater the surface area, the quicker the chemical reaction, in this case, cooking.

Does it take longer to cook 2x 1kg roasts than 1x 2kg roasts?

No, it generally does not take longer to cook two 1kg roasts than one 2kg roast. Both should have similar cooking times, as the cooking time is primarily determined by the weight of the meat. However, factors such as the oven's heat distribution and how the roasts are arranged can affect cooking time. It's always best to use a meat thermometer to ensure both are cooked to the proper internal temperature.
