If SSD logic boards are any indication, devices with fewer chips frequently have lower read/write speeds, as they're not using all the lanes on the controller.

I'm thinking this would be the case as well on a tablet, unless the flash is in a bus topology already.

There is no speed difference between 1 or 2 chips in this context, they are just treated as separate banks and mapped to different memory addresses controlled by the flash memory controller in the SoC.
