I felt like just holding one half in both hands was awkward, but is that how the game is played? Or can we tell the system we have two controllers and want to use both. We only had it out of the box for 30 minutes or so, so we didn't really play around with it, but sort of wondering if we wasted $100 on an extra controller that we didn't need to get.

My son and niece were playing Odyssey with two "full" sets of joycons (2 each, in the grip) on the weekend. I believe that we just went : home > controllers > and then did the L+R simultaneously to register each set as a single controller. Nintendo seems a bit obsessed with split joycons for Odyssey, but I've just never gotten used to it.
You'll find that menu helpful whenever switching controller configurations around. Going from 2 player Mario Kart to 4 player split-joycons, for example.
I don't think that you'll regret the extra set of joycons though, even at $100. Being able to split them and play 4 player Mario Kart occasionally is pretty neat, even if they're a bit awkward. Plus you can charge a set while using the other.
And if charging via a cable while playing is NOT of interest to you, then do yourself a favour and skip the overpriced Nintendo charging grip and pick yourself up one of these:

It actually feels better in my hands than the OEM Nintendo one, and I have never felt like I needed to tether myself to a USB cable while playing to charge.
