I totally agree with you that a single larger gauge wire is more reliable. But, we are looking at a starter motor on a generator, not a 120 volt AC line or a DC line that is at a 100% duty cycle. If one only has a spool of #12 or #10 THHN stranded wire it is perfectly OK to parallel them to compensate for the resistance the current will need to overcome without a voltage drop greater than 2%.
I just want to make sure readers will understand the risks of using two wires for one circuit, and when that risk is acceptable.
