Well that's assuming seconds will be climbing simultaneously double-rope style. If you wait for each to finish you could easily swap ropes in the one gri-gri.
The only reason to use a guide/reverso with two ropes is if both climbers come up at the same time. BBB doesn't really lend itself to that - definitely not the second half - so just take one gri-gri for the top belay.
