Previously it collected 128-bits entropy from each RNG for a total of 256-bits. This commit expands it to collect 256-bits entropy from each RNG for a total of 512-bits of input key material. This ensures that the desired amount of 256-bits is collected even in the event that one of the two RNGs fails silently.
