Putting two torpedoes into the same area should do a lot more flooding than two in seperate areas, depending of course on the actual compartment you're breeching. That outer hull is very thick, and if you can slip a torp past it, you've got a much better chance of cutting into vital piping and ballasting. But this isn't modeled, either.

A torpedo is non penetrating, that is, it is like using high explosive. It is not like using an Armour Piercing round.
As we all know, HE was used for the bridge area etc and AP for the water line… If exploding against the object was so effective then AP rounds would not exist in the navy.
Two torpedoes into the same area will cause some additional damage and certainly increase the speed of flooding. BUT, it is not to be presumed that it will cause any additional flooding and it is almost a guarantee that it will not cause anywhere near the same loss buoyancy as targeting a different area.
