I find this two days only strike a bit strange. Why only strike for two
days? Has the RMT threatened to strike more if they dont't reach an
agreement? If so, when?

They hope the effects are sufficiently bad that they'll get their way in
the next round of negotiations. Because their actions directly affect
the public, they don't need to strike for weeks on end outside a factory
gate that the public didn't previously realise even existed.
