I would highly discourage this too since it adds complication to the fuel system and I have not identified a real idle problem to begin with.  The latest version of the EC2 has differential injector flow rates so you could use smaller primaries and larger secondaries if idle was a big concern.  The RX-8 (Renesis) uses this arrangement. 
 
Every instance of idle problems that I have looked at so far was due to either bad EC2 setup or injector location (far from port).

How about 3 injectors per rotor with progressive staging?  This sure would require a BUNCH of wires though!

I don't recommend it but I do make a single injector version of the EC2 now.  Still waiting on reports on the two already shipped.

Replying to my own e-mail-  after I posted the  drawing, I continued to
mess with the design and came up with a solution which is simply to
angle the injector bosses  and leave the fuel rail straight.  This will
allow me to use both injectors.  The revised drawing is attached. 
Onward,   Jerry
