No, 'craven coward' is not a redundant phrase. The word 'craven' has lost some of its older meanings, which was derived from a latin word for defeated. For example, a craven servant is a servant who completely submits himself to the will of his master, doing the master's bidding, regardless of right and wrong, etc. Craven also denotes one who lacks even the tiniest bit of courage. Many cowards may have courage in other areas, but one who is craven has no courage at all. Thus, 'craven' has several psychological aspects, and can be used as a deep insult. So, a craven coward is not just any coward, but a coward who acknowledges his cowardice or his complete submission to another, both major psychological defeats.

What is the other term of redundancy?
Redundancy can mean either that some one has been laid off work and has been given a redundancy or severance package. Or also, redundancy is a term used to describe the actions taken to mitigate failure. So for example within a car, the spare tyre acts as a form of redundancy for the off but low probability chance of a tire going flat. Although this is a rare event, if it does happen the consequences are drastic, so the spare tyre provides a form of redundancy to mitigate a single point of failure.
