One advantage of replacing a 50 ohm resistor with a parallel combination of two similarly rated 100 ohm resistors is that the parallel combination will have:
the same resistance but greater power rating
Two 100 Ω resistors in parallel have a total resistance of 100/2 = 50 Ω. If each has a power rating P, the total power rating becomes 2*P.
