*If* the two directions are always parallel you could draw a wide line
(maybe also using two strokes for an outline) plus a very thin line
indicating the separation between the two directions.
If this does not fit your problem: Unfortunately it is mathematically
impossible to represent the parallel to a given bezier segment as a
bezier segment, you have to resort back to approximations. There are
solutions for this, you might find example code in inkscape.
