Does this coop have too less space?

Are your hens medium sized (non bantams)?
In the coop there's a bit more than 5 sqft, a normal sized hen needs 4 sqft, so 2 will need 8.
Also the run has a bit more than 8 sqft, that's too small because each chicken needs 10sqft in the run (so 2 will need 20)

That is a good size.

It does not have to be exact for it to work

So that's too small, you need 8sqft in the coop and 20 in the run. They need also 2 sqft of permanent ventilation and 2 linear ft of roost

If the hens get along, then it will be fine. I kept a large standard pair in a coop about the same size and they did wonderfully.

Now, if they bicker ofteb, I would get a larger space

I agree, doesn't have to be perfect, in the coop it can work but I still think the run is too small. Then, if they can go outside that's the best

Could I make an extension, like a tunnel that leads to some place where they can run around?

Yeah, that would be great! Your chickens will thank you
