The reason I ask is that I wonder if I should run a second Tor instance or if the current one will be able to make use a a reasonable part of the 500Mps.
It looks like your relay could be CPU-core-limited, or limited by some other local resource, or limited by its location.
To work out where the limit is, run another Tor instance.

If Tor doesn't scale on multicore CPUs, setting NumCPUs to 2 and running two threads has no effect at all on throughput?
On most systems, Tor automatically sets NumCPUs to the number of physical CPU cores.
Tor is partially multithreaded, so those extra threads do make a difference. But if your tor process is limited by main thread operations, then you need to run another tor process.
