Is this an oversight on the part of the road planners? I can see lorry drivers keen to increase the number of 50's on single carriageways if it means they can do more miles on their allocated hours!

Likewise you (assuming you were in your car) - were also subject to 2 limits: the 50mph limits and the national speed limit. Had you driven at 60mph you would be breaking the TRO, but not the national speed limit. If you exceeded 60mph you would technically have broken 2 separate speed limits (as an aside the rules on "continuous offences" prevent you being prosecuted for both)

Can two limits really apply to the same stretch of road?
Surely if it is signed at 50mph then that is the limit, the NSL then in theory becomes irrelevant meaning the only limit you will break is the 50mph.
