Whats the ideal size of plastic surface mounted conduit to take two 6mm cables comfortable?

Singles or PVC / PVC?
Im guessing this is T+E, so I would say 25mm. However, there are no guidelines for conduit factors with T+W cables, only singles........So if it fits, it fits. If you struggle to get it in, it's wrong!

I'm thinking like this:
1. As you say, T&E not designed to be run in conduit.
2. Substantial derating if it is.
3. Spacing factor.
4. Long run with bends etc....
