Yes, you could stop both. Pick the one that is ahead, and while he pulls over, you stay in the lane, preventing the other from passing. You then wave him over.
If that is not practical, there is no set rule to pick which one. If you are running radar, you only get one readout, from the strongest signal, so you can only clock one of the cars, not both. If that was the case, I'd pick the one I got the actual signal from.
If you are confident you have a speed on both, I usually look for some other factor... a driver trying to be elusive, an equipment violation, something to make me suspect one would be a better stop.

Some years ago I overheard when a rookie asked the same question, Old Leather said: If they are going up to 5mph over - No; If they are going some 10mph - Yes, maybe; But if they are doing 15mph or more - absolutely! The best is to drive the speed limit or less.

No no longer probable. I do start to think of if all my rear lighting fixtures are working exact nonetheless, the police around right here like to furnish tickets for that. on the topic of the sole time i visit get fearful is on an Interstate understanding i flow approximately 6 miles over the fee cut back & see a Statie coming at me out of nowhere & merely drops in at the back of me in site visitors. My first instinct is "oh crap". Then 5 or so miles down the line he whips into the different lane & flys off.... extensive sigh of releif. :~}

Probably neither. Unless I can get one seperating from the other or pulling away I won't stop them. I always get them as a lone vehicle to track or not at all.

No, but the officer can get the tags of the one he can't stop. I worked with a retired officer (17 years, Seattle PD) and he told me they usually only stop people going above ten miles over the posted speed limit.

Yes, they can pull them both over, and I've seen them do it before.

If they're side-by-side, the red one. (everybody knows red cars go faster)
If one is behind the other, the cop has no choice but to stop the following car. Besides, the front one is the car that's keeping the one behind him from going faster.
