In a 4/2 measure the whole measure rest is a double whole rest. I know how to

I thought the convention of a single whole rest representing one measure's rest
in any meter applied to such augmented meters as well.
Definitely not! Have a look into any quality modern edition of 17th century
music in large meters. Double whole rests for whole measures in 4/2 and 3/1.
Adding some substance to this: Ted Ross, page 181 for 4/2 whole rests,
the 8th example down. Ross doesn't mention 3/1, but it's not exactly
common. Since 3/2 has a whole rest, logic suggests that 3/1 simply needs
a double whole rest. Otherwise the symbol for a beat rest is the same as
for a measure rest.
