For twice the 10 weeks

"The trial faced multiple delays and at one point was halted so the police officers’ mobile phones could be seized and their private messages read out to the court in a complex case. The trial ran for twice the 10 weeks it had been expected to." (The Guardian.)

Does The trial ran for twice the 10 weeks it had been expected to mean that the trial ran twice and every time when it ran it had been expected to continue for 10 weeks?
