We extend earlier results on the relation between the dimensionless tunneling channel conductance $g$ and the fractional Coulomb blockade peak splitting $f$ for two electrostatically equivalent dots connected by an arbitrary number $N_{\text{ch}}$ of tunneling channels with bandwidths $W$ much larger than the two-dot differential charging energy $U_{2}$. By calculating $f$ through second order in $g$ in the limit of weak coupling ($g \rightarrow 0$), we illuminate the difference in behavior of the large-$N_{\text{ch}}$ and small-$N_{\text{ch}}$ regimes and make more plausible extrapolation to the strong-coupling ($g \rightarrow 1$) limit. For the special case of $N_{\text{ch}}=2$ and strong coupling, we eliminate an apparent ultraviolet divergence and obtain the next leading term of an expansion in $(1-g)$. We show that the results we calculate are independent of such band structure details as the fraction of occupied fermionic single-particle states in the weak-coupling theory and the nature of the cut-off in the bosonized strong-coupling theory. The results agree with calculations for metallic junctions in the $N_{\text{ch}} \rightarrow \infty$ limit and improve the previous good agreement with recent two-channel experiments.
