Actually, it was originally planned to have three and a possible fourth.
If you look at a map or aerial photo of KSC, you will note that there is
a seemingly-purposeless bend in the crawlerway to pad 39B.  That's where
the crawlerway to 39C was supposed to branch off.

Another bit of pre-budget-cut trivia for those interested:  the VAB is
designed to permit adding two more high bays on the end.  That's why
the paved area on the north (?) side is so big,	because a goodly chunk
of it would disappear under the two extra bays.
