At most brick and mortar MRR shops, you can buy two 24188 if you only need two. The 20xxx rails come in smaller packs, but are not meant to be split up. They are for big department stores and other cash'n'carry stores. Please note: the turnout motors and control boxes for My World use different cables than those from the standard program. But the rails are not different.

Different cables for turnout motors and control boxes. I presume track pieces are the same (no cables with 24611 or 24612). And I presume it makes no difference if you want to operate turnouts digitally. Only difference is the cable from the turnout motor to the control box.
