one knot is required (to hang from the DAVIT). the other knot is optional, and can be no closer than shown in the diagram to the davit knot. the number of optional knots is from 0 to N where N is unknown, but large.
the loop on the end is made using a segment of the rope, as a result, the end with fraying prevention is not part of the loop. since the loop is longer than the fray-prevented part, the loop constitutes the end of the rope for the purpose of length measurement.
