A small doubt ..
Why it is recommended that in Linux the /swap partion size can be double the physical RAM size ?

Because if your systems uses more than that, then it's "trashing" too much (meaning swapping too much), making the system unusable.

You can put the amount you want, but it's just not worthy (unless you
have a very specific reason for doing that).
