You can see there's a split inside often times. Maybe people in Sauber thought they have some benefits packaging-wise or they though they needed to tune ducts separately. No big deal IMO.

Ok just curious

The RB6 also ran with double ducts in street circuits and heavy braking circuits since Monaco.

Toet held the position from 2006 to 2009, during the period when the squad was BMW-owned, but stepped down after the German manufacturer's departure.

This seems odd... In the video found at http://www.f1talks.pl/?p=11635, labeled factory tour 1 (at the 5:19 point), the mechanic is holding the now standard oval (flattened) exhaust collector used to blow the side of the diffusers by everyone else.
