They are not divided inside the plenum/manifold, and the runners are in a row down the middle so they are pulling air from both intakes at the same time as it is mixed inside the plenum. The ECU just sees the air flow (voltage) from both MAF's and calculates the two together as the total amount of air going in. If each intake only went to one bank of (3) cylinders, the OP would have to re-do the piping to have somewhat even airflow to each side. Since the air is mixed inside the plenum, they are going to overcome the issue by allowing more airflow on one side than the other, and upgrading the MAF's to handle more airflow/voltage on that one side that has more airflow (really a band-aide for the uneven airflow, but it will work with the way our intake plenum and runners are setup).
Ahhhh, DUH! Not having experience with the innards of the plenum I assumed there was some other reason for the dual MAFs. Editing my post above to not spread false info.
