As I understood the question, OP needs two lists that have the same sum, both of which have a uniform distribution between 0 and 1. This does that. I literally cannot get your code to run so I can't even evaluate it. | |

Note that this approach doesn't cause the sums to follow the UniformSumDistribution[n], because the smallest sum is chosen every time. QuantilePlot[Sort[Table[(lists = RandomReal[1, {20, 2}] // Transpose; lists = lists (Min[Total /@ lists]/Total@# & /@ lists); Total[First[lists]]), {200}]], UniformSumDistribution[20], Method -> {"ReferenceLineMethod" -> "Diagonal"}]
