The "yet" implies it wasn't a done deal, which makes me feel that he wasn't promised a double album. It sounds to me like it was more of a possibility that was floated as a potential enticement for him. Otherwise, why wouldn't he just say, "with you writing songs like that, we're going to have a great double album"?
Of course, I know that others see it differently. So who knows.

But Lindsey also says that he wouldn't have involved himself in this project with this group of songs if it weren't going to be a double album. At the point you're referring to, it was too late to back out and he also knew that the double-album dream was coming under fire, so that was his Lindsey-ish way of stroking Stevie's ego with the double-album concept (in other words, it's not just for him, but for the benefit of her incredible output as well).
