panel unit root tests make absolutely no sense with T=2. You are
looking for the long run behavior of a time series, and you have two
observations on the time series. No way to do that. After all, even a
Dickey-Fuller test on a single time series implies regressing the
difference in X on the lagged level of X, and you have precisely one
observation for that regression.
