In short, no. Slings should never be intentionally twisted in order to shorten them. Depending on the type of sling being used (e.g., alloy chain sling) there are products designed specifically for shortening slings legs and maintaining the full Working Load Limit. However, such products do not really exist for synthetic slings. If the sling is not long enough to wrap twice, then you'll simply need to get a sling of a different length.
