Default Can't split them up, can't keep them together

Okay... This might get long... I can't figure this out. Vinnie ((he'll be 3 in September)) and CeJay ((turned 2 in July)) are inseparable. They share everything. Up until now, it's been no big deal. But, now, everything is a huge issue. They can't eat together, they throw their food, they don't eat, they steal each others food, they just make a huge mess ((they have learned how to make messes with any food, don't know how they do it)). Bed time, well that's a huge bust. They don't nap, because they stay up and play ((and then are MISERABLE come 6pm)) and it takes over 3 hours to get them to crash at night. I can't split them up, because then they will just scream and scream for the other and nothing gets accomplished any way. No matter what the punishment, time out, taking things away, smack on the butt, NOTHING works. Now, they laugh at whatever punishment is chosen. They refuse to share anything. If one has it, the other wants it. This goes for clothes too. Vinnie has noticed that CeJay has a few hand me downs from him, and if I put those on him, he literally rips them off of him. Now, all of this I could possibly handle if I kept an eye on them at all times, but, with having Scarlette, it's just not possible. I can't split them up, because right now we live in a tiny 2 bedroom. I just don't know what to do! I feel like I'm not spending any time with them, because I am constantly cleaning up huge messes ((yesterday I was putting the baby to bed and with in 2 mins. they pulled spaghetti out of the fridge and "decorated" my kitchen)) or I'm breaking up fights! They are only 2 and almost 3! I can't imagine how this is going to be when they are older! Any words of advice? Please????
