It says that a single "attack" gets reach. Do only natural attacks count, or can weapon attacks receive reach as well? It's not a "natural attack form" like Improved Damage, so if it's applied to claws, it only affects one claw and not the other?
I read it as ONE claw attack gets reach. You'd need to take it twice for both claws to get reach.
Also, there's no reason why a bite could not have reach, but yes it only applies to one single attack. It doesn't even apply to all attacks of the same type. Only one claw could get reach with one Reach Evolution, and you'd need to take the Evolution an additional time for every single attack that you'd want to gain Reach. Want both claws to have it? Take Reach twice. Want one Bite and one Tentacle to have it? Take Reach twice. Want both Claws and one Bite to have it? Take Reach thrice.
At any rate, it's only a natural attack, since no Eidolon comes pre-fused with weapons naturally or even through any Evolution.
Actually in ultimate magic it subtly says all attacks of the same type gain reach.
If you read abolith base build it says....
25 points: Base Form aquatic; Primary Evolutions reach (tentacles), tentacles (2); Secondary Evolutions basic magic (ghost sound), huge, large, major magic (minor image), minor magic (silent image), tentacles (2), ultimate magic (major image).
It uses the plural of tentacle when describing reach and does not mention it again for any other tentacles implying that it is added to them all.
