You can print a slur pair by using explicit directions, like

c^(_( c))

Naturally, you can then tweak each of the two slurs separately.  Now
those slurs have different direction to start with.  Getting them to
look like having the same direction by twiddling control points might be
effort.

You can also get double slurs by marking one explicitly using
spanner-id.  Quite to my surprise, this requires using
\withMusicProperty instead of \tweak.  I'll probably change that, but
for now you are stuck with

\new Voice { c-\withMusicProperty #'spanner-id #"g"
             \tweak #'extra-offset #'(0 . -1) ((
             c-\withMusicProperty #'spanner-id #"g" )) c }

How would you use the \withMusicProperty identifier within a chord structure?
