Does "one of two" mean "one article with two names (of authors)"?

Context:

That is a matter of almost life and death. Look at the outcome: the application is unsuccessful, therefore Marity must bear Lieserl as a maiden and Lieserl vanishes! Everything would be better than that. Having an Annalen article increases the possibility of job. The manuscript is already at the editors. But maybe having an article as single author is better than one of two. Marity cannot be too fanatic now; later she can write other articles. Most probably Marity's name was removed with her consensus.

Maybe being the only author whose name is on the article is better than being only one of two authors whose names are on the article.

Failed to understand you CJ.
When there are two author names on the article, can there be "only one (name)"?

I think you may have misunderstood my reply.

Maybe being the only author whose name is on the article is better than being only one [author] of two authors whose names are on the article.
