Two sidewalls per tire give you eight sidewalls.
I will argue the wider track does not do as much for stability because the frame is not hard mounted to the axle. The width of the suspension is the same on a SRW and DRW. It will help tracking if the rear width of the truck matches the trailer.
The DRW's stability advantage is due to stiffer sidewalls by having twice the number of tires and typically heavier suspension components. If you put stiffer sidewall tires and suspension on a SRW, you will see stability also increased.
