Nah--they're tiny downloads, and were developed and released
simultaneously back in 1984, I think. The LW_Software PDF
contains more information. You can take your saved character
from game 1 into game 2 as well, so they're inextricably
related.
There is a very similar relationship between the book versions of FftD
and FotW, yet they both have their own page in the 'Books' section.

Nah. The books, while related, are entirely separate entities. They are two complete books, each ZIP download being about 1.5Mb (including illustrations). The Spectrum games ZIP archives are approx. 60Kb each. It seems a bit silly having two separate pages to download the two games, with each download being about the size of the webpage itself (+graphics).

The Mirror of Death, on the other hand, was developed by an
entirely different company seven years later, and would
therefore merit its own page, should we ever receive the
rights to release it.
We would also need to rename "Spectrum Games" to something more generic.

The Mirror of Death would have several downloads (one per each platform) so there's plenty to fit onto that one page. We'd probably add a direct link from the Spectrum Games page to it, though.
