contents This paper addresses the problem of robust option pricing within the framework of Vectorial Martingale Optimal Transport (VMOT). We investigate the geometry of VMOT solutions for $N$-period market models and demonstrate that, when the number of underlying assets is $d=2$ and the payoff is sub- or supermodular, the extremal model reduces to a single-factor structure in the first period. This structural result allows for a significant dimension reduction, transforming the problem into a more tractable format. We prove that this reduction is specific to the two-asset case and provide counterexamples showing it generally fails for $d \geq 3$. Finally, we exploit this monotonicity to develop a reduced-dimension Sinkhorn algorithm. Numerical experiments demonstrate that this structure-preserving approach reduces computational time by approximately 99\% compared to standard methods while improving accuracy.
