Since the standards for time dimensions were recently clarified. I shall remake this again, as it now qualifies under the clarification:
"A higher spacetime continuum with two temporal dimensions (instead of just one) comprises a higher temporal axis that spans regular temporal dimensions that the entirety of 4-dimensional spacetimes, or equivalents to it are serviced by (This is similar to how the time dimension in a 4-dimensional spacetime continuum spans uncountably infinite 3-dimensional snapshots of the universe), qualifying it for Low 1-C"
NOTE: The clarification will be changed again: But Here is the relevant part from the new draft that will be uploaded in the FAQ:
The Corridor of the Spacetime Door is a location in Sailor Moon where the Door of spacetime is located. It is referred to as the corridor, as the underworld, as a spacetime, as well as a a rift. It is used to to travel to different time periods.
The corridor also serves as the framework in which all universes and spacetimes are embedded within. This is shown when Sailor Pluto confirms that the Tau Star System is a distant region in spacetime. Please note, that the Tau Star System is referred to as a cosmos, other world, and alternate dimension showing that it is spatially and temporally distinct from the main universe. Luna and Sailor Pluto also confirm the existence of a multitude of other alternate dimensions via dimensional routes, so much that Luna's computer cannot check them all.
It is confirmed that the past exists as physical location within Spacetime as Chibi-usa states that it exists on the "other side of spacetime". Couple that with the fact that, those who wander the corridor can end up getting lost in time.
In addition to embedding these separate universes, and even going so far as treating time as physical locations within it self. The corridor has its own unique portray of time. While it is stated that the corridor has no flow of time, events that occur in the past and future happen simultaneously to observers in the corridor. In order for this to occur, and to be able to embed all the different universes to the point where the times of the universes are locations, the corridor has to have it's own unique axis.
When Black Lady sends shockwaves backwards in time to attack Sailor Moon and the team, Sailor Pluto is able to warn Sailor Moon before the shockwaves hit her. This is only possible if Sailor Pluto exists outside the flow of time (as the corridor is stated to not have flow of time) and have her own frame of reference in terms of time and causality.
All these details coupled together will dictate that the entire 4D continuum of the universes exist as physical actualized locations within the corridor. A snapshot of the corridor would include entire 4D spaces inside the snapshot. The entire continuum of the corridor would include uncountably infinite snapshots of 4D space and count towards being one level of superiority over the 4D universes.
TLDR:
A single universe is rated as Low 2-C because a timeline of it will represent uncountable infinite snapshots of the 3D space it represents. The corridor should be rated as Low 1-C because all uncountable snapshots of the corridor would include the the 4D spaces of every universe embedded in it, as all time is physically presented as locations within the space.

NOTE: The clarification will be changed again: But Here is the relevant part from the new draft that will be uploaded in the FAQ:
A spacetime continuum with two time axis, instead of just one, could likewise be visualized as a line comprised of uncountably infinite points, each of which is a static "snapshot" of the entire regular timeline with 3 space and 1 time dimension. It would hence be one level of qualitative superiority above a timeline and as such baseline Low 1-C. Similarily, adding even more time dimensions would add one level of qualitative superiority each time.
