Methinks they didn't miss it.  Those extra strings load the bridge more 
evenly for the sounding strings and contribute to a better sound in a 
similar manner to bridge extensions to the next rib or a wraparound bridge 
like S&S  B&D.  (Impedence. Right, Del?)

You'll find extra strings on verticals, too.
