Doubling Files to the Left

Command:
"Files to the left/right, double!"
A few long ranks of soldiers may need to array/re-array themselves into files. Doubling files to the left/right doubles the number of positions in half the files. Even-numbered files cease to be divisions, their members alternating with members of the files they merged into.
