Hi,

Just a quick question. Do we repeat articles in these cases: She was a woman with a small chest and (a) huge tummy.

I am assuming that (a) can be avoided in such cases?

I don't think that the a can be devided .
 
The second a is optional.

Do not omit articles in lists, because lists can contain items with different or no articles. For example:
She has a big butt and large breasts.
In this case, since "breasts" is plural, we use no article. If the second body part is singular, keep the article.
