Thanks for you help DC.

I lean towards the grapple part. Reason being it is easier to wrap a whip or chain around a foot then to actually hit a foot.
Grapples are assumed to be two handed in GURPS and I think that is why they take half the penalty to hit. Becasue your trying to wrap a target rather then hit it directly. So it coulbe because your trying to hit with two limbs or just a bonus for the wrap effect.
EDIT: Note that further support of that rationale is that an extra arm gives a similar bonus. +2 to grapple for each extra arm.
