I see no reason to think of "Good Man" and "Hitler" as a two-parter. Other two-parters are clearly one story cut in half, with the same setting, the same guest characters, the same villains, the same tone. Think "Impossible Planet"/"Satan Pit" or "Rebel Flesh"/"Almost People". By contrast, "Good Man" and "Hitler" are two completely separate stories with different settings, different guest characters etc, and only the loosest connection via the question of "Who is River?" They are not a two-parter.
