Why do Gnats have twin nose wheels?
It could be as simple as available space to store the leg and stroke length needed for the oleo that precluded a single nose wheel. When you select that option, the bottom end of the oleo strut needs to be above the tire and a bit of metal, which makes for an overall longer leg if you need the same size oleo strut.
