This is a standard use of うち, and "二人" could be replaced by any number of people. I don't think entries should be added on the basis that the grammar might not be understood.

Eijiro, GG5 examples. 5 Tanaka sentences, e.g. "メアリーはその二人のうちで美しい方です。Mary is the prettier of the two."
  Comments:
This may seem a bit obvious but I can imagine 二人のうち puzzling some people. Having it here will help text glossing too.
