You've got that backwards. If he ran the rads in parallel, theory is system flow rate should he higher. You halve the flow to the rads, which may be ok, but everything else gets a benefit from the parallel rads (the blocks). In series we introduce more head loss, how much more is unknown. Bottom line is, test both ways, it is the only way to get a clear answer, and then, it may not be so clear.
