今年唯二爆的两部剧是不是只有庆余年和墨鱼? 都突破了平台的极限。

在俺们拆那75岁以上想当新公司法人都要被抓去工商当场宣誓谈话才可以 而老米利坚唯二热气腾腾的总统候选人 一个四十乘二 一个八十余三 从未觉得世界是一个巨大的草台班子如此具像化惹

买了个漂亮杯垫 下单之后发现是店里唯二的库存了 不知道最后一个会被谁买走

Editor: I think your third example shows that it can mean "one of the only two".
Here's another example like that:
他是國內各項衝浪比賽的贏家,也是台灣唯二登錄國際職業衝浪協會(ASP)的選手。

Here are some more examples for "the only two":
- 目前,澳門與香港是中國唯二實施「一國兩制」的特區。
- 農、林、漁、牧四個農業類別之中,林業與漁業是唯二入會後產值成長表現不如入會前的產業。

I noticed that there is a lot of usage of 唯二 in "Taiwan Panorama" magazine, so perhaps it's not all that slangy in Taiwan. All three examples I quote above are from the magazine.

I think it's worth labeling 唯二 an adjective (just as 唯一 is an adjective) since otherwise the definition would suggest that 唯二 is a noun. (唯一, by contrast, is defined with English adjectives "only" and "sole").

Another example for "one of the only two":
如果成行,内塔尼亚胡将成为在美国国会联席会议上演讲次数最多的外国领导人,此前他是唯二在美国国会发表过三次演讲的外国领导人,
