It's fine by me, at least. So long as the two chapters combined are within the guidelines, I see no reason why they shouldn't be accepted as one entity. I think judging them both separately would be a bit pointless, though. They're the first two chapters of the same (outstanding and outright great - wtf, Mr. Impartial judge) storyline, and if memory serves me right, nothing exceptional happens in the first chapter. It would be a pain to give both different score.
Otherwise, I'm fine with everything you people come up with. I've got time.
