I suspect it's not a type-o, and it's not exactly wrong, though a comma after the first "to" would improve it. It would be slightly better and more clear if it read as follows: Specify as much of the address as you need to SPECIFY, IN ORDER to remove ambiguity. [Emphasis added to show words which are understood/omitted in the original.] However, it is acceptable to leave out the repeated verb, and to leave out the phrase "in order." There isn't really anything wrong with it as is, other than maybe the missing comma (to separate the subordinate clause from the independant clause). > -Specify as much of the address as you need to to remove ambiguity.
