There are two ways in which a Big Bad can also be a Bigger Bad.

First, a villain can start out as a Bigger Bad, but become a Big Bad after more focus is placed on them. A good example of this would be Salem from RWBY, who was the Bigger Bad to Cinder Fall's Big Bad in the first three volumes, before becoming the Big Bad in Volume 4 after her presence was revealed.

Second, a Big Bad can become a Bigger Bad if a spinoff work of a franchsie is produced. An example of this would be Gihren Zabi from Mobile Suit Gundam, who is the Big Bad of the show and the Bigger Bad of the spinoff OVA, The 08th MS Team.

However, this does not mean that there aren't any people who have added both categories on pages where they would be incorrect, and I do believe that the two pages are in need of cleanup.
