Tom, you got that backwards - Two equal resistors in parallel halves the resistance and doubles the wattage. Two equal resistors in series adds the resistance and the wattage remains the same.
So Jon, no problem with the two resistors in parallel. I would make sure there is a little air gap between them for heat dissipation
