Adding the second hose probably does NOT double the volume.  Surely the 
crossover and its hose would be removed from the system?  The crossover 
hose is probably not much shorter than a full top-to-bottom hose, so 
maybe 15-30% added to the system volume?

Having twin hoses running the same distance may have advantages in terms 
of brake balance too, so that 15% of extra expansion loss could be 
offset by the fact that both sides are seeing the same line pressure.

Another 2p worth...
