Impossible to predict what a hamster is going to do because they very much have a mind of their own. In my experience they do the opposite of what we expect them or would like them to do.

Our Percy quite happily rolls in his playpen sand and then pees in it but has other peeing places in his cage.

Pee'ed in sand forms clumps which are easily scooped out with the little scoop that comes with hamster toilets so its not really an issue. Mine all have their individual scoops and tiny strainers with handles to sieve bits out of their sand

Try it if you think they need two sand areas and see what happens.
