They must have. The Chronicler concepts (including an earlier one that has since been lost) both showed them with a singular leg.
Actually, you can vaguely see the two legs on the Chronicler.

The first way to tell is just by looking at the strange design. The Chronicler would have a rather odd way of moving that does not seem logical if it had one leg. The knee cap is pointing forward, much like our own. Now, I have tried to move in such a way and it does not seem very fitting. They could move like Abe (in his own games, excluding MO), where you jump and find your balance. I can't imagine how a species design is live like that. The species would be doomed due to its vuneribility and slow movement. It also could take short jumps, where you move a little forward and jump more in the air. That takes a long time to get anywhere on land. Of course, if the Chronicler lived behind a desk, I could see how they would survive. Underwater, maybe, but still. Chroniclers who seem to be on land now, had the ability to grow another pair of arms, why not another leg? If the Chroniclers had one leg in the design shown in the The Art of Oddworld Inhabitants: 1994-2004, I couldn't see too much logic.

Also, if you looked at the shadow of the Chroniclers design, you see a seperation between the two legs around the knee cap area.
