There is a misunderstanding here: "Sides 2" means that your class (the
underlying cls/sty files or the preamble you propose) uses twosided by
default. So you you choose twosided, nothing is output, and if you
choose onesided, it is actually output to latex.

Basically, the layout file is only a _description_ of what the
documentclass does.

It may be (based on the sentence you quoted) that spacing is supposed
to work differently. I do not know the specifics.
