What,Why would you need to double the vertices ?
Ya mesh would be easy to make with polygons.

It would look something like:

If you double the number of vertices for each level, the circle will
have
2 raised to 37 vertices.
This will be like the one that wanted ricecorns on a chess board, 1 on
the
first aquare, 2 on the
second, 4 orn the third and so on.
I guess that on the second level you will have to cut corners a bit, so
there HAS to be 8 vertices.
But then you might go on with 8 for a few levels before it is time to
add
another four vertices.
This will have to be hand work and it will not be easy to get the
correct
area for each level
( http://www.vb-helper.com/howto_polygon_area.html
<http://www.vb-helper.com/howto_polygon_area.html> )
I guess you will need help by a matematician to write a python program
that calculates the vertices
and sort out how they are connected, then the Mesher plugin can create
the
polygons.
To me this seems just too complicated for a person who is not very
comfortable with geometric
algoritms.
