" There's two waste gates, so I guess the exhausts are in parallel?

i don't think that necessarily follows, though it does rather look as
though the turbines -aren't- plumbed one into the other.  if you want
to control the boost of each stage separately [to equalize the
workload], you need a wastegate on each turbine.

sudden thought: they're popoff valves, not wastegates.

" The compressor side must be in series.

probably.  i don't see the point otherwise.
