The introduction to Dual Hydraulic Failures in our 'anglicised' A330/A340 FCTM reads as follows:
Dual hydraulic failures however, although unlikely, are significant due to the following consequences:
• Loss of AP
• Flight control law degradation (F/CTL PROT)
• Landing in abnormal configuration
• Extensive ECAM procedures with associated workload and task-sharing considerations
• Significant considerations for approach, landing and go-around.
So yes, 'dimensioning' seems to imply 'significant'.
