For god's sake, women like Kataring and Silviana, who are weaker than Moiriane, are able to shield Egwene with Egwene thinking there is no hope for her escape. No way is she twice as strong as Moiraine.
She says Egwene is as strong as Moiraine and Amys combined.
Amys is described as almost as strong as Moiraine.
That means Egwene is very close to twice Moiraine's strength.
Avi said Egwene could handle Moiraine and Amys in a fight. Similarly, Ewgene thinks if she holds the element of surprise, she can handle five Aes Sedai in the coach with her (in KoD). Doesn't mean Egwene's strength is five times the Aes Sedai's!
"You are Aes Sedai, and strong enough in the Power to overcome Amys and Melaine together" Strong enough. Not "with the element of surprise". Purely based on Aviendha's assesment of Egwene's stregth.
Amys is described as equal to Moiraine in strength, and Melaine is described to be as strong as a very strong Aes Sedai.
