Be wary in iterprting that William and Susannah were twins - they may have been; but twins were rarer back then and also as it is generally Baptisms that are the primary Records, with Birth Dates as an Addendum within them, it could be siblings (or cousins or simply same name) baptised on the same day out to same year.
I have come across about seven siblings baptised as a "job lot" on the one say, with a spread in ages up to the oldest being about 14 years old.

The lines may have led to later generations on a continuation sheet/s, simply guessing.
