Hi,

how about:

\version "2.16.1"

doubledTimeSignature =
\override Score.TimeSignature #'stencil =
  #(lambda (grob)
    (let* ((stil (ly:font-get-glyph (ly:grob-default-font grob) "timesig.C22"))
           (staff-space (ly:staff-symbol-staff-space grob))
           (pddng (* 0.5 staff-space))
           (new-stil
             (ly:stencil-combine-at-edge
               stil
               X
               RIGHT
               stil
               pddng)))
          new-stil))

\relative {
  \doubledTimeSignature
  \time 4/2
  c2 d e f
  c d e f
}


HTH,
