It has to do with how memory is organized.

Your big array is one block of memory organized linearly, like

Code:
'a', 'b', 'c', 'd','e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o', 'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'u', 'v', 'w', 'x'

...and the only difference is the equation the compiler generates to access it.

If it's an n*2 array, the compiler does something like arr[(2*index2)+index1] to access the array. If you really wanted, you could ignore index2, and just step through the entire array with index1, but if you don't know what you're doing you might step beyond the bounds of the array by accident.
