so, with APs and the like?

right: a horde (IMG) where the big leader has the TN ability and the minions are AP batteries.

IMO, throwing two grandes doubles (or so) the explosion but reduces the aim: in a cavern, aiming a grenade is relevant because I suppose your heroes do not like to be buried under the cave themselves.

The task is: make the ceiling fall down without harming our forces. I think your bonus is too high.

I would say the throwing guy gets a malus (two thrown missile weapons in a single rolls are more difficult to aim than a single thrown missile weapon) of -3 to his throwing skill.

Better I don't know, different surely yes :-)
The two handgrandes could be managed as (much) bigger AP wager (even more APs than the thrower has) PLUS malus to the target number because of the two throws in a single roll/round.
