if you examine the lines of the various instruments in the example I posted, you can see where some instruments double the viola/cello line.

also, how some pairs of instruments (for example teh flutes) don't come in "as a pair" of instruments, but function as individuals.

there is also a way of dealing with the isntrumetns with their different registers as though they were completely different instruments (for example a bassoon in the low register is a completely different isntruments from a high bassoon).

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.
