It's not simple. Far from it actually.
Most users print with a pre 'compiled' g-code on SD card. The control electronics simply don't have the processing power to (re) compute the g-code.
Slicing the model in 0.02 layers and merging those layers on the machine itself (depending on the layer thickness) is far from feasable.

Daid certainly has... :wink:
It was discussed earlier somewhere in the Cura subforum if there should be the possiblity to change layer height throughout a print. If this is implemented some day, it most probably has to be in the slicer engine directly. There was once the idea to allow not only postprocess plugins but so-called UI-plugins which directly affect the slicing process (if I didn't get it completely wrong).
However, I see a possibility for a 'simple' postprocess plugin which replaces e.g. two layers of a certain height with one layer of double the height using the x- and y-coordinates of the lower layer. It could be restricted to a start and end height or layer no. respectively.
