I have a MRC Diesel AC Sounder sound board. It has a tiny pancake type speaker rated at 4ohms, 2 watt. Does anybody know if the amplifier could handle the lower impedance of two speakers in parallel?

You probably can use a larger or more efficient speaker in a baffle but no- I would not go less than a total impedance of 4 Ohms.
In other words- fine, connect 2 8 Ohm speakers in parallel, or one larger 4 ohm speaker, but there is no safe combination with the original 4 Ohm tiny where you add a second speaker
