The documentation says:

* L is a vector,  whose i-th entry contains the local data at the i-th prime
  divisor of N,  i.e.  L[i] = elllocalred(E,F[i,1]),  where the local
  coordinate change has been deleted, and replaced by a 0.

This would duplicate the second component of ellglobalred() anyway.
