A two-piece timing cover allows you to remove the top half to change cam timing (assuming you have an adjustable cam gear). Normally you'd need to pull the harmonic balancer and take off the full one-piece cover to do this. If you don't have an adjustable cam gear, you don't need it.
Also allows you to play with different camshafts without dropping the pan every time and breaking that oil pan to timing cover seal. This is a small block chevy right? I have the edelbrock version and it has the cosmetic front piece and behind that is the second piece that stays sealed to the oil pan. It would let you play with different cams and I suppose if you wanted to throw in a gear drive or remove one for a timing chain set-up.
