How big is the current hutch? It sounds big? I routinely have done what you describe, where I basically tuned one giant condo into two smaller ones while bonding, but both were still of acceptable size. Then once they are bonded you can just reconfigure back to the giant size. She might be grumpy at first but she will be fine. 🙂 Expect some thumps!
For exercise you can do alternating times, or same times as long as the rooms are safely divided up. It helps with pre-bonding if they can be out at the same time and able to see each other. I have often used a doubled up x-pen to divide the main room so there is a buffer of about 6 inches between the walls so they can’t nip each other through the fence. Just be sure they can’t actually get at each other. You’d be surprised how determined bunnies can be to get at each other before they are bonded!
