Memory Alpha

As the region of space which the Borg inhabited expanded, the single Queen could no longer co-ordinate all of the drones drone without communications delays through sub-space. Thus the era of distributed Unimatrices began, where regions of space within a certain distance had a local unimatrix, and a backup queen. Note that the backup queen was simply a physical vessel to receive the consciousness of the Borg Queen, much as the servers in a computer network run a single operating system in multiple instances.
