The CD maps tended to have a reasonable amount of overlap in full coverage (150 miles or more) and had major roads for out-of-area regions.
I don't know why there would need to be 2 discs, as the old NAVTEQ map was well under the single layer capacity of a DVD. It would be bizarre if the MK IV drive can't read double layer discs. And the latest TomTom TeleAtlas North America map is less than 2GB unpacked. However, the TomTom and the MK IV use a different data format, so that isn't entirely a fair comparison.
