In the first Ki Merosh Tzurim in Ohr Hatorah Balak there's a great explanation of the extra 'foot' on the first hey of Shem Havaya (in the sefer Torah). It's the concept of the expression in the Zohar hakadosh אושיט פסיע לבר - that bina "takes a step outside."
He connects it with the idea how it's like the actual writing, sefer, is a step outside of from the scribe, sofer, while the last hey is the sipur, the story and meaning of the words.
The reason sefer is a "step outside" from the sofer is the difference between how much the midos are in potential within chochma as opposed to how much they are in potential in bina. In chochma they are compared to the potential for the child within the seminal drop, while in bina like the child in the mothers womb. While still hidden in the womb it is more revealed.
Taking this allegory to the next level, the "step outside" is with the the birth of the sons of Yehuda, Peretz and Zarach, with the foot that "came out first".
The second hey, on the other hand, that does not have the "step outside" refers to the neshama of Moshiach, who comes from Peretz, hidden in the womb of Malchus (as apposed to the first Hey, bina).
The Hey as a reference point for the spiritual source of Moshiach is represented by its two legs that it stands on (ועמדו רגליו ביום ההוא - his legs will stand... on the mout of Olives). "Medaleg" - jumping is with one leg, is on the mountains, chochma, while "Mekapetz" - leaping is with two legs on the גבעות - on the hills, Binah.
On this it says ומגבעות אשורנו - I will see him (a vision of the coming of Moshiach) from the hills (from above and afar). The hills meaning the "mothers", plural both feminine aspects, Binah and Malchus, the two Heys.
