As I understand "brakes" (and I'm STILL learning a LOT) the biggest advantage to a multiple piston caliper is threshold braking. The ability to modulate the braking action without locking up the wheels.

Following this logic, multiple calipers (or 6 pot vs 4 vs 1 pot calipers for instance) would allow a driver greater control at the threshold.

But how about this: One caliper with the extreme heat pads for ultra high rotor temps and one caliper with low temp pads?

High temp pads do NOT work well until they get hot! NOT good for the street. So the low temp caliper provides initial braking (like for an auto X run when rotor temps are low). The second set of pads (high temp) START working on the "open track" events when the temps go up.

HOW in the world you would BOLT twin calipers up, plumb them to the master cylinder etc leaves me baffled!

More braking power with "twins"? Not really, more "control" with twins! You could still "lock up" the tires with a single pot and the right "brakes".
