kitchen oven wiring

Most double sockets are rated for 13A in total (design load of 20A max with diversity) not 2x 13A without diversity. Would be better to terminate the 6mm into a suitable JB then install 2 single sockets if going down this path.
An oven at 3.5kw and a Microwave rated at 1kw (top end of most residential microwaves) would still be under the max load 20A with diversity
As I said it's all to do with the load, wattage divided by voltage = amperage, and checking what the max is regarding your particular make of socket, some go as high as 26A max
