I had read this article about DL DVDs sometime ago
http://www.burnworld.com/howto/articles/intro-to-dual-layer.htm
Here are two snippets
--------
"The two layers represent one contiguous address stream for recording as a 
Video Disc, a DVD-ROM, or even a packet recorded disc."

"Because double layer recordable discs are basically one contiguous stream of 
block addresses, it’s not very difficult for software makers to make their 
disc mastering software compatible with dual layer drives and media, as least 
where recording data is concerned."
--------
So there is not much that needs to be done.

From K3B's main page

I want to give special thanks to Lacie. They provided a USB DVD burner, a 
Firewire 8x DVD burner, and a DVD+R Double Layer burner along with plenty of 
media for testing so I can integrate DVD+R DL burning into K3b. It is 
complete and works since K3b 0.11.13.
