Doesn't RMF have only 2 on the plate?

Whereas the idea I was trying to express was:

According to RMF, there is clearly no haqpadah to have the kezayis from
any particular matzah, since otherwise how could you take them from the
box? In which case, why would he insist on 2 kezeisim even if taken from
the ke'arah?

According to those who require 3 matzos for every "chavurah" (to borrow
the term from the qorban), they seem to be maqpidim, and thus those of
them who also require 3 matzos should require 2 kezeisim. Also those who
require 2 matzos on the grounds of not requiring mishneh lechem (as REMT
explained the Gra, as opposed to RYBS's explanation for his own practice
that lekhem oni is the same din as mishneh lekhem and the se'udas YT).

Tir'u baTov!

PS: REMT, I did eventually get to your post about the Gra's sevara. <g>
