Not sure if the splitting and pipe reductions would greatly affect the air flow, same size on either side.
Slow airflow that is ground Temperature makes a good growth chamber for mold, especially if it is humid. Unless you want to grow mushrooms, having a little breeze is not bad. If you need more surface area, it's better to run multiple smaller diameter pipes. I like the green PVC storm drain pipes. They have thin walls, too.
