A necroed thread inspired me...
Its a manga fact that having only 1 Rinnegan grants you access to all 6 paths. Nagato never surpassed that level of jutsu so he didn't need the pair. We saw 3 cases of a person with only 1 Rinnegan, Obito, Sasuke and one-eye Madara. I don't think Nagato would have questioned his eye's origin if he had only one versus two.
Madara could have passed the Rinnegan while keeping one for himself for safe keeping. Madara knew about the ability to use just one, as he showed with such great expertise in the war. Surely he would have thought to only give Nagato one as opposed to both?
