Not always.

I wondered about that, too, sitkaman.

One possibility is that somebody set up an authoring station that way a
long time ago because of the FAT32 4GB filesize limit - per somebody
"the file-size limit on FAT32 is (2^32)-1 bytes, or one byte less than a
full 4GB" and/or "CDFS has a couple of restrictions: a maximum file size
of 4 GB and a maximum of 65535 directories. CDFS is a relatively simple
format that was defined in 1988 as the read only formatting standard for
CD-ROM media."

The idea might have been to create lowest-common-denominator discs that
wouldn't run up against those limits on anybody's system. Your timeframe
for that would have been the late 90s to the mid oughts (plus inertia).

But that's just a guess. If it's a good guess, the Cab 2GB+2GB authoring
is probably found on discs authored a long time ago but not on recent
releases.
