Erm, I've gotta ask:

Where did the guy who edited this get the information that the Diouscouria would have more than one Aldnoah Drive? There is plenty proof seen in the series that shows that it doesn't have more than one Aldnoah:

1) Aldnoah can apparently transfer its enourmos energies over a distance as well as seen that the Argyre's blade field can be tossed without having a huge power cable attached or the plasma blade shutting down a few moments after it leaves the Argyre's hand. Also, the Hellas' rocket fists could switch between "normal" state and "monomolecular armor" state in mid-flight as well which further supports the Aldnoah's ability to supplement energy remotely. Same goes to the tanks on the landing castle which shut down the moment Asseylum put the landing castle's Aldnoah to sleep.

2) The Diouscouria cannot use several different "aldnoah abilities" for more than a few seconds. So for example while its mecha detachments can use the "blade field" the "core" Diouscouria has to rely on conventional weaponry and its stealth capabilities. Or when it launches a rocket fists it can change it into "monomolecular structure" and cover it with the dimensional barrier, but that would strictly require the deactivation of the barrier on the main kataphract. That has nothing to do with the barrier interfering with the exhaust of the arm since that could be solved by building in an ejection mechanism which launches the arm off the Diouscouria and the barrier would not have to shut down completely. Also, it was clearly unable to use the "blade field" while having the dimensional barrier up. That would normally be of no trouble since Saazbaum would just have to leave the fingertips out of the barrier and the intense heat will protect them from getting damaged by enemy fire.

If the Diouscouria were to have more than one Aldnoah it could utilize several of its abilities simultaneously, like for example having the blade field AND the dimensional barrier activated or shooting a rocket fist with an activated blade field on top of having the "monomolecular armor" active as well. That boils down to the conclusion that the Diouscouria has only one Aldnoah drive just like every other Vers kataphract has.
