The reference below describes the utility of the two-dimensional

about
it!
I have not been able to find an R implementation. (Tried RSiteSearch
and RSeek with "2d kolmogorov" and pursued promising links and
citations. This 2005 article suggests that it is not a simple (or
even a well-defined) problem:

This effort at a parallelized solution reports little improvement,
perhaps supporting the Lopes, el al conclusion that the Cooks
algorithm is not O(n*log(n) after all.
And this is a page with a link to some Matlab code:
