In the Biology Section it points out that the "tongue mouth" or secondary jaws or mouth is what the Xenomorph eats with. So my original guess that the secondary one would hold the food is wrong - the large mouth holds it if needed. Even more, the Secondary Jaws can be used as a close-combat weapon. It can be pushed out of the primary mouth or jaws with such force it can shatter skulls of some species.
What surprised me is that we have a species on Earth with something similar - the Moray Eel also has a Pharyngeal Jaw. It can't easily swallow, so it grabs prey and the smaller internal jaws, the pharyngeal jaw, then bit and pull the food into the gullet.
