Nah, wielding too lightsabers simply lends itself to a ferocious and fast-paced attack style. But naturally comes at the cost of increased energy expenditure and your defensive capabilities.
So its entirely dependent on your form, abilities, and the situation.
2 Sabers.
I'm sharing part of my answer with BeniboyBling's answer,
I don't agree with the defense part.
I'm Quoting a book I read called Mind Sword,
San-Shin: The Sword With Three Minds
Two swords(two ploys) that,when used in concert create a third unseen possibility.
A+B= a never before seen C
Three Minds
He could use it for parry and blocking,
He could use it for cutting and stabbing
He could use it for an unorthodox manner,as he did,by
throwing it like a spear,impaling his opponent,openning the way for his coupe de grace.
I also agree with Snydicate's answer.
If the situation calls for 2.
You have to be unpredictable with 2,do something never done before. unorthodox.

That trope also pops up in the Return trailer with Malgus and Kao.

THE MOTTO IS "IN KEK WE TRUST"
In SW stuff, two wins so much it's a wonder everyone doesn't use it. Pick up a second, do better! Happens *so often*. You never see someone grab two, then have the reduction in power and control from only having one hand on a blade cost them,
In real life, of course, the answer is not so easy and I'd generally go for one. This is speaking as someone who has trained with both single and double swords. I'd use two if a foe is unused to them, but it's not as great fiction tends to assume.
True, but here's the difference. Most of the EU was written by people who knew the best way to make money in that line of work was to write novels, comics etc. that told great stories.
Most Star Wars "canon" by contrast is written to make money not through telling great stories, but by selling merchandise.
