AFAIK the first greave gives +2 armour, and the second one gives no bonus.

The EB-stat system is based on the idea that the body is mostly covered by the shield, so armour is most effective on those bits that are sticking out: the head and the lower-half of the leading leg. The trailing leg, on the other hand, is the part of the body that is farthest from the enemy. Should an enemy weapon get past the shield, it's still more likely to hit the body or upper leg, so greave on the trailing leg would not add much protection. The team felt it was too minor to include in the stat system. Double greaves appear only on units that are already pretty well armoured, anyway.
