The first spam-split invocation targets specifically the
spam-use-regex-headers check.  If that check is turned on, spam-split
will run it.  You can use any number of spam-use-* checks here; I use
regex-headers first for two reasons: so that spam sent to my mailing
lists gets caught and because the regex-headers check is fast.

The second call of spam-split will target all the enabled checks,
including spam-use-regex-headers for a second time.  Since it's a fast
check, that doesn't bother me.  The other checks I have, especially
the blackholes check, would be too slow when run twice.

This is in the manual as well, I think.
