Plugwash, the maximum current of both single and double sockets is 13 amps I don't think it makes much difference therefore.
Besides, you can still overload the cable, as 2.5mm cable is only rated at 24 amps. I think it relied upon the chances being that no more than 24 amps would be placed on the two spur sockets combined.
