I have fitted a spur to a double socket, however it was a tad tricky
since the conductors were not long enough. Is it 'OK' to hide screw
block connectors in the socket box ? The Muppet who originally fitted
the surface mount dual socket over the original single socket recess
did not manage to connect up the earth cable.. so I can't have made it
any worse !

Yes that is fine.

Have you considered

as an alternative to a surface mounted double socket?
