You do provide a definition for 残余: 'remnant / relic / residue / vestige / surplus / to remain / to leave surplus'; I strongly suspect that this is just a variant of the same phrase.
------------------------------------------------------

Editor: We have the following entry:
殘餘 残余 [can2 yu2] /remnant/relic/residue/vestige/surplus/to remain/to leave surplus/

and also
餘 馀 [yu2] /variant of 餘|余[yu2], remainder/

From these two entries, suitable software can deduce that 残馀 "is just a variant of the same phrase [残余]".
In such cases, we do not list the variant explicitly.

Of course, 残余 is by far the more common variant – about 170 times more common, according to Google Verbatim results:

"残余" - About 10,100,000 results
"残馀" - About 58,700 results
Diff:
# - 殘 残 [can2] /to destroy/to spoil/to ruin/to injure/cruel/oppressive/savage/brutal/incomplete/disabled/to remain/to survive/remnant/surplus/
# + 残馀 残馀 [can2 yu2] /what's left of something/
