the missed approach instructions at OFP GPS 34 have instructions to climb to 700 then climb to 2000, with no instructions between them. Why not just make it climb to 2000 in one instruction? Just something I noticed while flying in there yesterday
It's just like other dual instructions on a missed. The "climb to 700" is a straight ahead climb on the extension of the final approach. The second "then climb to 2000 direct COATI..." is a climb to a specific fix.
It's exactly the same as "climb to 700, then climbing left turn to 2000 via [a specific radial]" on the LOC 34. The second part of the instruction names a fix that happens to be straight ahead.

The protected airspace is wider than that. The criteria won't permit a course change below 400 feet above airport elevation. It seems silly in this case because the course change is small.The MAP to COATT appears to be about 330. The chart says DWEED to the runway is 339. You can actually see it on the sectional if you draw a line from the airport to COATT (it's charted). Oddly enough, it seems like you're more likely going to hit something if you stay on the runway heading than if you turn to COATT immediately but of course it's hard to tell by google maps. There may be a cell tower or one of those monster flag poles off the side of I-95 there.
