You state that "There is no option for teams to accept/decline parts of a double foul. You just wipe it out and replay the down."
In Case 10.2.1, it says If R accepts the penalty for either foul by K, it is a double foul. R may declne the penalties and retain possesion following enforcement of the penalty for R2's foul. This wording indicates that you can accept/decline parts of a double foul.
Technically, the penalties are "cancelled" rather than accepted or declined. For the purposes of the original question, I was say they were accepted.

You missed what Bob said. He was correct, you cannot accept/decline parts of a double foul. He said when NF 10-2-2 is enforced, it is no longer a double foul. 10-2-2 is in short, the "clean hands" rule. It is not a double foul, double fouls are covered in rule 10-2-1.
10-2-1 says it is a double foul if "there is a COP and the team in final possession accepts the penalty for its opponents foul." 10-2-2 involves a foul by each team when the team last gaining possession gets it with "clean hands."
It is kind of a technicality about not declining part of a double foul cuz by accepting their opponents foul, they are "creating" a double foul. So they cannot accept/decline parts of a double foul, but by accepting, they can create a double foul.
