With six combining double characters (U+035D..U+0362) and a zillion
regular combining characters (101 alone in the U+0330 block), of which
a full dozen would be in realist need, we'd need at the very least
6×12=72 precomposed glyphs.
Isn't the Standard explicit about the positioning of a regular
diacritical after a double one?
