From the Pantone Website


2X = double impression, usually referred to as a 'dry trap', where a
color is printed, dried back, and then overprinted a second time to
produce a more intense color.


So adding more saturation when printing.

However the website does mention that they have discontinued adding this to their system.


2X colors were deleted from the PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM products back
in 2000. The reason for this is because they were rarely used, and
caused unnecessary confusion when they were specified.
