The mounting and chasing will not hurt your tortoises, its just what they do.
Especially if they are eggy, once they have laid eggs, things go back to normal.
This happens even if they have a large area.
My tortoises have at least 60ft x 35ft area, and during the last month, all my females were mounting and bashing each other, and the male got the same treatment from them:0). Two I have seen lay eggs, and I know one other was eggy, but all is quiet again. And they are back to normal behaviour. Until one or another is eggy again.
But if they cause any damage to each other (draw blood) then you will have to think about seperating them.
