Re: double tap breaker
Generally no. Specifically, that Square D yes. Look at the side of the breaker for the wire size and combination information.

Re: double tap breaker
I would agree that SQ D will accept 2 conductors. But if the info isn't readily available or, when in doubt, you could simply splice the two conductors together and pigtail a short single conductor to the breaker.

Re: double tap breaker
I agree with Jim. There is a little image embossed on the SqD breakers that allows 2 # 14 thru #10.
