You know that is a really good question, I often wondered the same myself. The 2pc seal is subjected to a lot different operating conditions as opposed to the 1pc seal which floats and never touches the plates. The only obvious difference from a design point would be where the 45 degree split is between the pcs. But from an operating perspective it could be a whole different ball game. Some claim the 1pc seal is overall stronger for this reason.

NRS 2pc seals are like the old Rotary Truck type where the wedge sits under the main bar and never contacts the rotor housing. This will give full positive sealing from the get go without having to gouge the rotor housing to establish contact with the main bar. This also makes the tip of the main bar much stronger and less prone to chipping off as it no longer comes to a razor point.
