Opened up my eristic gasket set today.
This is my exhaust mani gasket.
Looks like its 2 gasked rivited together in the center.
They are 2mm thick each.

Is this gasket ok to use as it is or should I split them up and use just one of them?

You need to keep the manifold gasket in one piece...i.e. do not separate the two halves. Personally, I do not care for that design gasket, but it will work.

The 2nd gasket is for the stock turbo elbow to DP connection iirc.

Not unless they started making crankshaft seals out of fiber bonded to metal reinforcement rings ;)
(enlarge the pic and take a close look)
