is viper set crit bonus cumulative?

I might not be understanding this correctly, but for the viper set, for both the 2-item and 4-item benefits, it says "adds 4% weapon critical". I assumed, because it was listed twice, that this was cumulative (ie wearing 2 items would result in a 4% crit bonus and wearing 4 items would result in an 8% bonus, which sounds pretty darn good to me).

Just replaced an old armor set with 4 viper pieces and I'm only seeing a 4% increase in weapon critical...is this as it should be or is something not working right?

And if it really is just a 4% increase, why is this benefit listed twice?

    Yes, the bonus is cumulative, just like sets that have maximum health listed twice, or magicka regen listed twice.

    Thanks for the quick response! Yeah turns out I just didn't realize I lost my 4% crit bonus from night's silence so it cancelled out...everything's working fine thankfully :)
