You can theory in one hand and practice in the other and see which one fills up first.

Cylinder arrangements on internal combustion piston engines
https://idahospudsblog.blogspot.com/...angements.html
The simplest configuration for a piston engine of course is a single cylinder. It has the advantage of simplicity and low cost. Disadvantages are intermittent power, low power compared to multi-cylinder engines of the same displacement, and vibration due to inherently imbalanced rotating parts.
Motorcycle Engine - Single Cylinder VS Double Cylinder ...
https://www.bikebd.com/motorcycle-en...linder-engine/
Single cylinder engines are less durable than the double cylinder engine. Construction of single cylinder engine is easier but it needs stronger parts than the double cylinder engine like the heavier crankshaft, connecting rod, piston etc. Those parts literary tackle more stress and pressure of engine stroke through single connecting rod.
