Would lensing make stars in a binary system appear further apart at sunset?

I am revising my first draft and trying to add more evocative details.

Here, I asked whether stars in a binary system are likely to fall on the ecliptic.

As my hero hikes through the day and suns set approaches, would the suns appear to spread apart from one another from atmospheric lensing?

Possibly the lower sun becomes larger and sets, and then the upper sun becomes larger and sets, and there is no apparent change in distance for the planet-bound hero. But I'm not certain. Maybe lensing makes the space between the two stars expand, too.
