I ran in to an unexpected situation last weekend. Using the Book of Armies, i determined that the players would be fighting (IIRC) Knifemen X2 (Orkney Madmen) and something irrelevant. When the players rolled their attacks against the half-skill (now 10) due to using the pursue maneuver footmen vs mounted (now 5) and most PKs rolled two successes.

Does this mean that they damage the knifemen twice? How about if they succeed three times in a round? (i.e. once more on the other opponent) I am asking for RAW and/or RAI, not how things would be house-ruled--that is why this is here in the "rules section".

It means they damaged two knifemen

Yes, full damage each time

In this particular case, the eschille triumphed. Would this result in the decimation of the enemy unit, per the BoBattle II rules?
