Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

consolidate charges: better or worse for the accused?
Would it be possible to consolidate 2 identical petit larceny charges of the same person into 1 case if the two charges happened only 5 days apart?
would it be better for a defendant to consolidate two charges into one or bad?
i mean if without consolidation, the accused would get 2 violation charges plus community service. but if consolidate two charges into one, would the accused be convicted a misdemeanor or only 1 violation+double amount of community service?
would it usually be good for the defendant to consolidate charges into one case or seperate them in different case?
thank you
