Multiple detail bands are typically used with a printWhenExpression that controls which detail to display based on the detail record - the detail bands do print in the same space.  If you want to print the details as if they are in two rows per detail record, you should just make one detail band that is double height with the fields layed out in two rows within the band.  This will give you the outcome that you are expecting.
