The engine splits--or rather, it's actually two semicircular engines--because that's how it worked in Ralph McQuarrie's paintings of X-wings. That detail was changed for the final models into two separate circular engines. It's something that's always stood out for me when I look at the McQuarrie paintings of the Death Star battle.
