Divine Bond only affects one weapon. You don't get two weapons as part of your divine bond. If you could do that people would take a sword and a bow in most cases.
You can do it as a house rule, but you have to decide how to handle things if one of the bonded weapons is destroyed. By the normal rules the bonded weapons has negative affects.
I think its best to just let one weapon have the divine bond or you are setting a precedent that any number of weapons can be bonded, which makes it harder for the weapon in question to be destroyed.
He is better off using it on one manufactured weapon, and have the other weapon not be bonded.

Personally I think I'd allow it, but go the other way, if *any* of the Divine Bond weapons were destroyed that 'severs' the bond and causes the effects as if the single weapon was destroyed (perhaps cracking/shattering all the bonded weapons from 'feedback' or some such). The player gets to change the rules a bit to their benefit to fit the concept they want, they pay for that in risking the additional chance that they temporarily lose access to their Divine Bond.
By the rules, I can't done, since you can only affect a single weapon.
However, it is probably weaker, so I'd allow it anyway.
In a few cases it is a boon (such as having two +2 weapons, needing a +3 to get through DR), but in most cases, enhancing only the primary weapon would be the mechanically best choice.

I'd make it a feat like the Inquisitor feat Double Bane and call it Double Divine Bond.
You extend your Divine Bond Weapon effect to two weapons.
Prerequisites: Divine Bond Weapon class feature, Two-Weapon Fighting.
Benefit: You can apply your Divine Bond Weapon to a second weapon you are wielding. While your Divine Bond Weapon class feature is active you choose the bonus to to apply to one weapon or the other, or both. For each minute you apply your Divine Bond Weapon class feature to two weapons, you expend 2 minutes of that feature.

It would be more balanced to reduce the effective enhancement bonus by 1 if you allowed a houserule like that. Dreamscarred Press used that design for the Soulknife which has the option of forming 2 weapons instead of a single weapon. They also made a feat which if taken removed the penalty when forming both I believe.
Now what would the answer be if she were to use a double weapon? Could the bonus be divided for each end?
No, sadly the smite text specifies that only one end of a double weapon is affected.
