No runway is built to cater to such a dual landing anywhere under civil regulation.
Thank you for being on the thread to lend your knowledge. I don’t know enough about it to make an informative reply.

That isn’t exactly the point here. Runways are really wide for a lot of reasons. One of the aircraft was in a no win position, and the only safe exit would have been to go around early, or land passing lead on the opposite side of the runway, conditions that are normally briefed during formation flight, Under emergency conditions, nothing is out of bounds. The number two was gear and flaps down and idle from the look of the prop in the film. He had nowhere to go but strike the other aircraft or somehow keep it on his side of the centerline.
