We consider an extended version of the pair tunneling model including interlayer single particle hopping (ISPH) as a complementary process to pair tunneling. The normal state gap, as found in cuprates, is taken to suppress the effective ISPH in conformity with the experimental observations, and this in turn enhances the pair tunneling process. The effective ISPH involves a probability factor P for which we consider two choices and provide phenomenological arguments in favour of them. We address the issue of bilayer splitting by calculating the spectral density function and corresponding photoemission intensity curves and show that our calculations conform with the absence of bilayer splitting observed in ARPES experiments on Bi2212. We have also studied the temperature variation of the superconducting gap and ratio of the superconducting gap to T_c. Our results, obtained for both the choices of P, are reasonably in good agreement with those from experiments on cuprate superconductors. A linear T-dependent choice of P, however, yields a precise match to the experimantal data of the temperature varying superconducting gap.
