Which one is the single blazon? Solution
The blazon without a partner is the number zero Gules, row 2 and column 4. Its blazon is the following:
0) «Palado de seis piezas de sinople y oro; brochante sobre el todo una banda de azur».
There are 14 coat of arms equal two by two, thus there are 7 couples with the following blazons, they are numered in color Sable in the previous image:
1) «Paly of six Azure and Or; over all a bend Azure».
2) «Paly of six Azure and Or; over all a bend Vert».
3) «Paly of six Vert and Or».
4) «Paly of six Vert and Or; over all a bend Vert».
5) «Paly of six Azure and Or».

Example, Uranzu in the volume VI
The volume IV has 454 pages numbered from 1525 to 1979. This is my translation for the 4th coat of arms of the 5 blazons of surname «Uranzu» described on pages 1,726 and 1,728 of this volume IV (see in the previous image of the original blazon).
Party per pale:
1 Gules,
the base,
wavy Argent and Azure, on them,
a Galleon with eight Cannons per band,
nine Galleys,
seven Galiots,
five Fustas, and
a Brigantine sailing,
the Ships, their Masts and Strings all Or,
the Galleon with Sails Argent,
the other Ships with Sails lowered Argent,
in chief,
an imperial eagle Sable, flying towards the galleon;
2 Argent,
a lion rampant Gules,
with its rear Paws on an Anchor Azure
lying to the sinister Flank,
holding in its fore Paws a Flagpole Vert with
three Flags,
Azure, three Fleurs de lis Or, ordered,
Azure, two Bends Or,
Gules, a plain Cross Argent,
between
four smalls Anchors Sable with Cables Gules.
Within a Bordure Or, sixteen Saltires Gules.
Although I am not sure of the reality of this coat of arms, I have made a) in Spanish a simplification and b) its translation in parallel to English. I assume that in the 2nd flag the Fleurs de lis in triangle are 3 and they are ordered. Although I am not sure of the reality of this busy coat of arms, I can't found a painted version, I have made a) a simplification of its Spanish blazon and b) its translation in parallel to English. I assume that in the 2nd flag the Fleurs de lis in triangle are 3 and they are ordered. The colors of the text in the images lets an easy reading and show the blazon structure. There are in this coat of arms 1+9+7+5+1 = 23 ships.
Currently the National Institute of Statistics of Spain (I. N. E.), about the surname «Uranzu» answer that «there are no inhabitants with the surname consulted», neither 1st nor 2nd surname, «or its frequency is less than 5 for the national total».

Sable, three Towers Or, two and one
Sable, three Towers Or, two and one
The classic heraldic layout for three charges on a coat of arms is two in chief and on in base. The layout one in chief and two at base are considered disordered in many heraldic traditions.
The blazon of this coat of arms, «Sable, three Towers Or, two and one», is disordered, and the entropy refers to disorder, and more entropy means more disorder. Then this imaginary coat of arms is full of entropy, and it could belong to the entropy.
