Standard in the UK to carry two flags, one tucked into the pants at the front so you can get to it, the second one in a side pocket so it is not showing. We consider that we do not want our officials to look too "eager" to be flagging stuff by having two flags showing.

Honigs used to sell a smaller size flag to use as a second flag (don't know if they still do) and that's what I carry in my pocket. Can't recall the last time I threw the second flag, but occasionally you do need it. It is not a big deal to have to carry two, and I also carry two beanbags, two whistles, a spare clip if I am HL, etc. Best to be prepared.
