Does this mean that the Tolkien £2 coin will be available to purchase on its own?

Yes, hopefully for around £10 plus Postage and packing.
"Is there a household limit on how many GBCH products I can buy?
No. Due to the unlimited mintage of the commemorative A-Z 10p coins, there are no restrictions as to how many coins or collector albums can be purchased."
I did a bit of digging, and this is what I found from the Royal Mint's FAQ pages.

And, then there is this limitation with another series, so it appears to depend on the release.

Thanks very much ! I didn’t see those pages on their website
The cheapest Copper-Nickel Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) coins that retail for around £10 or so usually don’t have purchase limits. These coins are, in a relative manner of speaking, rubbish, in that they are unlimited in mintage and will *usually* end up selling for below issue price on the secondary market. So the RM seems happy to flog as many as they can while the hype of a new coin is high, and make as much £££ as they can.🙂
It is usually the higher denomination precious metal (silver, gold, and platinum) coins that have purchase limits, as the mintages get lower as the denominations get higher.
Further to the topic on purchase limits, the RM’s limiting system is actually a bit weird, as it sometimes limits by transaction. So if you want more coins than the purchase limit being enforced, you can just do multiple transactions. 🤷🏻♂️
