But the Coupe doesn't?

It doesn't. The 2.0T is single sided like the coupe.

The A5 Cab I saw at the dealer has dual exhaust for some reason. I'm pretty sure it's a 2.0T. It looks like this without the rear valence.

I could be wrong. I haven't seen one in the flesh. The 2.0T A5 Cab photo I saw on Audi's website had single exhaust but we all know just how accurate the specific info on audiusa.com can sometimes be.

On the way back from Montauk this past weekend I stopped at the Audi dealer on Rte. 27 in Hampton Bays (? right town?) to look at the cars on the lot while they were closed. They had a 2010 A5 Cab with 2.0 and I believe it had dual exhausts. My guess is that the trunk floor in the Cab is deeper than in the Coupe to accomodate the folded roof and still have room for luggage. The big single muffler and pipes in the center on the Coupe would take up more room, so they put smaller cans on either side. Just my guess.

If the 3.2 Coupe can have dual exhaust, I don't see why the 2.0T can't have it. Perhaps they'll save it for MY2011?

Maybe the 2.0T A5 Cab has them for the same reason Audi uses dual mufflers on the 2.0T A4 Avant only (and not the A4 sedan): additional noise suppression over a single muffler.

The packaging theory makes sense too (maybe the A5 cab trunk is different than the sedan because of the folding roof, body reinforcements, etc.)

Just got my wife's A5 Cab Sline and it has dual exhaust.

Let us know how it performs - the cab is heavier than the coupe and I'd like to find out it it has any pep. Good luck!
