How do multiple tokens leave an activity concurrently in person process flow?

Each token represents a person

Why doesn't batch processing work in person process flow?

The problem is that the batch scope is the instance of the person. You need a batch that is global - ie not in an 'object-instanced' process flow

You don't - it's in an instanced process flow and each instance has only one token representing the person. You can push to a global list and have another token somewhere that is pulling 2 tokens from the list with the same 'groupID' which you could use as the partition (I suggest you change labelName to groupID so that it appears in the dropdown options for you).
