Is it permissible to give ten indigent persons three kilograms of rice each as expiation for two oaths, instead of giving twenty indigent persons one and a half kilograms each?

It is permissible to give two expiations to ten poor people, such that each poor person receives 3 kilograms of rice, provided that the giving occurs on two different days. For example, the first expiation is given on one day, and then the second on another day. However, giving one poor person two expiations on the same day is a matter of scholarly disagreement.
