so the longer rods with the weight of DU would mean that the KE would a great deal greater than the smaller rods you would get with a two piece round.

Sabot rounds are generally favoured against other MBTs whereas HEAT is for less well armoured vehicles.

Unreliable as it may be wikipedia has a good article on Russian Kontakt 5 ERA which is used on Pakistani T80s where it mentions when tested on a T72 it could shatter the rods on the main ammunition of M1 Abrams and German Leopard 2s.
