He's not talking about that. He's talking about them moving down a hallway that's 1-yard wide. (I almost answered the same as well.) Since both creatures are SM -1 and Semi-Upright, they're Horizontal while moving, so they take up the same space on the ground as someone one SM bigger, like a human. I went with the table on p. 31 of Pyramid #3/77, which has shown up in a few other spots as well, and read them as being SM 0 (which they are while moving, for the purposes of the hex grid).

That doesn't matter. Any number of SM 0 people can share the same hex, as Kromm quoted. They don't have to be attacking anyone else.
