Assuming decent cells with low ESR (say, <30mOhm), one such cell will deliver hundreds of amps when shorted, making things a little bit more lively than your estimation. :)
(A few hundred amps isn't a lot for a shorted battery, but these are tiny cells so that's what you'll get.)
Two cells was probably selected for one of: Voltage to avoid boost converters, capacity to avoid having to do extensive power optimization to make it run the whole event, balance to make it hang even off your neck.
