Titanic was not built bigger than Olympic. She enclosed her promenade deck, claiming more air and creating a little more gross tonnage, resulting in a larger classification, but she was the same size.

Yes, but not in length, width or height. She weighed more in gross tonnage. At 46,328 tonnes Titanic was the largest of the two.

Why didn't they build a second Titanic?

Actually they built 3 Olympic-class liners. There were 3 ships of the same design known as the Olympic class. The 1st was Olympic, the 2nd was Titanic and the 3rd was Britannic. It does take a long time to build ships like this but the Olympicc and Titanic were built side by side with Olympic started three months before Titanic so that the shipbuilders could move from one ship to the other as soon as they finished one stage. The completion of Britannic was delayed by the sinking of Titanic, so that safety modifications could take place. It was the largest of the three, two feet wider than the Titanic.
