Since the motors are places in series the error will accumulate and be greater than caso 1 #1 and case 2 #2.
The maximum torque is higher than case 1. For case 2, from motor 1 is equal and from motor 2 the difference is not considerable. On the right side it is smaller but on the left side it is larger (component at x has a weight of 3x).
Case 3: 2 arms in series
Distance between motors: 50 mm
Conclusion:
