The bosses each split in two but I'll give you a brief lesson in anti-limitation tricks.

As you can see in this screenshot there are still two bosses but in the game itself there are actually four because the bosses and their clones' sprites flicker back and forth so rapidly that you see them spliting up then merging back to two. Attack them when they are merged together to damage them but watch out for the nuclei bubbles that are hard to avoid because they move in odd directions.
