Do the IRA-SEP contributions for husband and wife have to be equal amounts

Self-employed husband and wife running our business together with no employees. We have only had an IRA-SEP in my name and my wife wants to have her own IRA-SEP. We have been splitting our Schedule Cs so we both vest in Social Security. She will open an IRA-SEP for 2016 in her name and I'm wondering if the contributions to her account have to be equal to mine or if they can  be different amounts.
