If anything you would be lessening the mass by sharing the work load.

Lets say the rotating mass of one cylinder is 2kg, and two cylinders is 4kg.
Lets say the energy from a combustion in a converntional cylinder is 10000Kj.
So you would have 20000Kj of energy across those 2cylinders weighing 4kg.
Now you want to halve the energy produced per cylinder, so 5000kj per cylinder, but the mass of the rotating cylinders is staying the same, 4kg.
It doesnt matter if you fire the cylinders at the same time or not, the rotating cylinders still weigh the same, and the energy produced is still less.
Theres no trick to the fundamental laws of physics, as far as I know your scenerio still occurs of planet Earth and those laws still apply.
