Maybe its easier, to reduce \\ to \ and expand THEN all \ to \\.
Oliver's solution is probably easiest, and therefore the best; however, the following would also do the trick:

  :%s/\%(^\|[^\\]\)\zs\\\ze\%([^\\]\|$\)/\\\\/g

Logically, this means:  match a \ so long as:
  * it isn't preceded by a \ (or is at the beginning of line) AND
  * if it isn't followed by a \ (or is at the end of line).
