Its done for the added capacity - extra mah as opposed to a 2S1P made from the same cells. With the choices in lipo sizes and configs, I doubt it would be any advantage unless you're really tight on space.
Have no idea if its ROAR legal or not, not would be my guess

The parallel cells are just allowing existing cells to be used in more pack sizes, reducing the need to spend resources on tooling up another cell size.
Might be a slight disadvantage due to more connections and the space taken up by that and the additional cell wrapping etc. I suspect it would be very difficult to determine an ESC or motor temperature difference.
I’m not aware that ROAR really cares about the cells in parallel. Only whether the packs have been submitted and pass the safety checks. Check this approval list (note there are approved lists for several other items on the ROAR site):
