There seem to be three different things available: Portal 1, 2 and Companion Edition. What's the Companion Edition? How is it different from just 1 and 2?

The Companion is 2.7 gigs and Portal 2 is 7 gigs. How can that be?

Not sure how they did it, but that’s what they did:

https://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/switch-eshop/portal-companion-collection

e: might be just additional content that they didn’t ship with the Companion Edition.

”Portal is 2.6GB in size while Portal 2 is 7.3GB. You can download them separately and there are achievements, the developer commentary, and the Still Alive content, as well as all bonus maps, with added gyro controls.”

I installed the Companion Edition, but only Portal 1 appears to be there. Do you have to download 2 separately? That would explain the small file size.

not according to everything I’ve been reading, but maybe you’re right and it’s going to be DLC?

The dumps are two separate nsps, so I would expect two separate downloads.

This looks to be exactly correct:

so the answer to OP is…well…it’s not really any different to Portal and Portal2. It’s literally downloading two games.
