It is mentioned in the AP1200 series technical specifications that the range is 40m@11mbps, with 2.2 dBi gain diversity dipole antenna.
Is this according to just 1 antenna or 2 antennas?

The second antenna does not change the coverage area or increase the range - it is only there to compensate for rare multipath problems.

He's right, it's only there to combat the effects of multipath. However, multipath interference isn't always rare. Installations with a lot of metal can cause reflections which contribute to multiple paths. Best bet, try it both ways and look at your error rates...

This document describes and provides specifications for the Cisco Aironet high-performance, dual-band
dipole antenna. The antenna operates in both the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz frequency bands and is designed
for use with Cisco Aironet 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz radio products that have dual-band reverse-polarity TNC
(RP-TNC) antenna ports. The antenna has a nominal gain of 2 dBi in the 2.4-GHz frequency band and
4 dBi in the 5-GHz frequency band
The AIR-ANT2524Dx-R series of antennas are dual-band antennas, meaning that they operate in both
the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands. The AIR-ANT2524Dx-R series antennas have an orange ID
band on them to indicate their dual-band functionality. Connect these antennas only to dual-band antenna
ports, which are identified with orange text on Cisco Aironet access points. Using these antennas on
Cisco Aironet access points that employ single-band antennas might result in lower performance.
