As you know (by observation), that code does not send the odd bytes
to S and the even bytes to S2. The logic is all wrong.

You need something like this:

Byte flip

flip = 0

Do
..if A.Received Then
....flip = 1 - flip ' flip odd/even on each received byte
....if flip Then
......S = A ' odd: control first servo
....Else
......S2 = A ' even: control second servo
....End If
..End If

do any other required stuff here...

Loop
