Yes, they line up all in the same row. The noble sets the row, so if you
want two rows, you pretty much need two nobles: the soldiers/crossbowmen
of each lining up with their respective noble. & there's really little
benefit to not putting the swordsmen & pikemen in anything but the first
row.

The only way to get two rows with one noble is to raise angry peasant mobs
or to summon wildmen. They will always be in the first row, even if the
noble raising them is in the back.
