This makes no sense. How can only two people be lined up? OK, they can be a pair. But only one pair. So there can't be a line of pairs.

All the examples I see are more than two. "They or the children or the passengers or officials" lined up in pairs of two.

Eccles part du principe que deux personnes ne peuvent à elles seules constituer un rang s'il n'y a personne ni derrière ni devant. Or, le nombre de personnes de devant ou de derrière n'est pas précisé ici. On sait juste que Tom et François se sont mis par deux et on imagine qu'ils sont côte-à-côte parmi un rang de personnes rangées par deux également.
---------------------------
That's right, you can't be lined up when there is nobody behind you or in front of you. However, the number of people around is not mentionned there. All we know is that Tom and François are a pair. We can imagine they are in twos among a line of people organised by two.
