It doesn't sound like you are doing this the best way at all. Maybe you are pulling over 63A to the other unit, but if you are, you should think about getting the electricity board to come in and split the supply after the meter so each consumer unit gets a supply. You are highly unlikely to use everything in your workshop at once, so take load diversity into account when you work out breaker and cable ratings.
I'd look into getting a motor rated breaker to deal with the compressor. Most ammeters in multimeters aren't very good at telling you the current drawn unless the load is purely resistive, and never work for start-up currents, otherwise ignoring it, or massively over-reading.
One last thing, you mentioned doubling cable up to increase capacity. It's generally not a good idea to do this, as one will have a higher resistance than the other, and it can cause problems with more load being taken by one than the other. Upgrade to a big enough cable to serve you into the future.
TBH, you'd be best getting an electrician in, as it does get quite complex.
