You've asked for 2 MPI ranks each using 1 CPU and as you've got 2 cores
on one and 4 cores on the other Slurm can fit both on to one of your
nodes so that's what it's done. This reduces fragmentation of resources
for other jobs that may come later.

If you really want to have a task on each node then you'll need to add:

#SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=1

to your batch file to tell Slurm to only place one task on each node.

Hope that helps!
