That's a pretty bad use of radiator. I'd say simply combine into a dual pump single loop, and you're good to go.

Minimum 480mm and after that each doubling of radiator space will halve the water delta. Considering you already have 2x 480 mm this should be very adequate. I personally would combine these into a single loop, but thats matter of preference.
