The tempo can be the same as the preceding Sarabande, or slightly faster. What must be considered is the atmosphere and mood of this Sarabande Double, which should be consistently interpreted as an expression of sadness, or something akin to it. Not even a Picardy cadence appears, so no ray of hope is visible. There are no dramatic chords like the Neapolitan sixth. It is an expression of such sadness.

Furthermore, have you noticed that many notes are tied and sustained? A typical example is the left hand in measures 21-22. This means that the bass notes of the chords are sustained (held), with care taken to prevent a dry sound.

Overall, it is desirable for this Double to be played improvisationally, with a feeling similar to Romantic rubato. Hold back where appropriate, and proceed with sufficient expression. An overly stiff or mechanical performance should be avoided. Do not forget the beauty of the sound, and aim for a transparent tone quality.
