If you are able to do full thickness tensile tests, then 2 tests are enough. However, because of testing machine limitation one need to prepare a lesser thickness specimen, normally 40mm max. In such case, you have to take two overlapping root and face side specimens for testing, ie. 2 sets of root and face side specimens. There is no such need for bend tests.
