I have never seen or heard of a Parker sold as "the price is $XXXXX and that includes a XX% premium because of the second set of barrels. Had this gun only one set of barrels the price would only have been $xxxxx."

I know very knowledgable collectors who have (documented) two-barrel-set Parkers who would not have paid what they did had those guns had only one set of barrels and as I have stated, I would certainly expect to pay a premium for a multiple barrel set both for the versatility of the gun if it is purchased as a shooter and for its rarity if purchased solely as a gun for the collection.
