Twice more than I would have liked to.

Very fortunate nobody was hurt

Twice more is plus two, not times two

I've never seen 'twice' used like that, do you have a link to back that up? If I search "twice more" on the web, I get zero results.

It's how I learnt to use the words. "Twice as much" or "twice as many" = 2x, "twice more than" is +2. It's less than perfectly standard, but it's unambiguous in English as I was taught
