Is there a center support, I presume? How heavy is the chair/occupant?
If this were a battery-powered chair, for example, I'd be at least a
little concerned even w/ the double layer. OSB isn't very strong and
while it would likely hold, the risk if it doesn't is excessive, imo.
OTOH, if she's a tiny little thing and it's a manual chair, two layers
w/ a center support screwed together securely would undoubtedly be
sufficient for a temporary "make-do"...
