First cousins X times removed are not the same as second cousins. Edit: the OP is not actually implying that they are the same, I was confused not realizing the OP was incorrectly calling Aragorn and Elrond cousins.
Were Elrond & Elros identical twins? If so then (genetically) Aragorn is a bit more closely related to his (50x great) uncle. I think it is 50x great uncle, because “uncle” takes care of one generation removed. Right? Edit: added P.S. P.S. some of the genetic databases have pointed out that the children of identical twins will trace more closely to half siblings than 1st cousins.
For context: “Nth” cousin refers to how many generations ago you had a common ancestor “removed” refers to how many generations away you are from that cousin Edit: fixed mistakes
That 51 times removed thing is kind of important though.
So Aragorn is as closely related to Arwen as I am to Bill Murray?

Your mom too is cousin of your dad 40 times removed
Ouch. Watch out you’d get dirty looks in the south for those jokes
