You're skinny and you want to work more chest an bi's?  I'd suggest more Legs and Back.  Your split is very strange.  Not too many compound movements, no shoulder exercises, too many single joint exercises for gaining size (ease up on the calves and forearms)

To answer your question, yes, you can train a muscle twice a week.  For you I'd suggest:

chest, quad, tricep and shoulders on day 1

back, hams, bis on day 2
 
rinse and repeat for days 3 and 4.  Eat like a horse and sleep like none other.

Ya twice a week. Try different splits, starting with one that appeals or makes sense, try others later. You can do either a 2 or 3 day split, resting a day in between cycles.

The only thing training-wise to reconsider:

-Start quads with compounds like squats and leg press, either exclude leg extensions altogether or do them later. Likewise with calves, do them after thighs.

-Substitute pullovers for one of the lat exercises every 2nd workout.
