This sounds silly to me. The ONLY reason you would have a greater vacuum
to 2 cylinders is if you have two dead cylinders. (IE low compression.)
Sounds like one of those Virus messages to me...

IF, (and I emphasize IF, hence the caps.) you could somehow direct a
single NOS fogger  (No matter if its before or after the TB.) to only 2
cylinders, the car would run extremely badly. 
Ever broke a pedal on your bicycle? Once you get it going, you can manage
to somewhat pedal even tho you only have one, right.? 2 cylinders on NOS
would have the same effect essentially. it would lobe under full throttle
severely. 
NOS does nothing to MELT a cylinder. If used improperly, you can damage a
motor (IE timming, activation without a load, backfires ect.) but a
single fogger system will only be worth 20-50hp at best anyways. 
don't believe the hype, seek professional advice. :)
