220x95 = 2 x 45x220?

Yes, planning to build a balcony in a corner of the house, so will have support beams on one long and one short side of the wall. Ideally, I want to get away with just one post in the free corner. I've calculated that the distance (just under 4 m) requires a support beam of 95x220. The question is whether I can calculate the same way if I glue/nail together two 45x220?

Now, I'm no expert on this, but I find it hard to see that it wouldn't work. Personally, I would almost think it would be better than a massive one. Then, I spontaneously think it sounds quite substantial, but if you've calculated it, it surely matches. Otherwise, I think something like this would suffice without knowing the conditions ;-)

I haven't made a drawing yet but just realized that there won't be a beam on the short side..... But if I put it this way:
If I use a sole plate in the wall 45x195, and then a top plate of the same dimension resting on two 95x95 posts about 3.5 meters apart, with a span of just under 180 (cc60). Does that work or does the top plate need to be, according to my first sketch, 95x195 or even 95x220? I'm getting dizzy from the dimensioning tables...
and can you, without losing load-bearing capacity, place the floor joists within the construction on joist hangers, essentially building a cassette? (sketching with 45x145 joists and 28x120 floor)
