No, egine ratings are independent of the number engines. The reason is that the engines aren't mechanically combined to affect the drive shaft. (2) 50 hp engines on a boat = a boat with (2) 50 hp engines. If the engines where mechanically coupled then you may be able to get 100 hp off the drive shaft. However, there would be some power loss spinning a the coupler.
Yes, (2) pills with a mass of 200 mg means the total mass is 400 mg.
