It won't necessarily have anything to do with wanting two discrete chips. They may just be finalizing the internals, for example; I suspect the iMac and 15" MacBook came out at the same time because the mainboard is essentially the same.
Most likely, any 17" MacBook will have only one Core Duo processor, but it'll be clocked higher (2 or 2.16 GHz). Two Core Duos would likely chew up too much power and generate too much heat to maintain a thin enclosure.

I can't see that happening due to power and space.
They are "waiting" because they can't just pull laptop designs out of a hat. The 15" came first for the G4 too.

Yeah, the 15" is the medium... and it was the first for the G4. If they could only release one machine the 15" would defintely be the one (unless they did a radical design change that they wanted to highlight). Personally, I'm hoping that by the end of next summer they will possibly have a 12/13" widescrean MacBook Pro with a nice high res LCD offered. That will definitely be the one I'll buy.
