How to tell if it's too late to Dual Imoen (or any other character, for that matter):

1) Check the Experience cap for your game. If you're playing plain Baldur's Gate 1, it's 89,000. If you have the Tales of the Sword Coast expansion installed, it's 161,000.
2) Check Imoen's current level. (Let's say she's Level 5.) Now find the EXP required for her to reach that level. (In this case, 10,000 EXP.) Now find the experience required to get one level higher as whatever class you want to Dual to. (In this case, we're trying to become a Level 6 Mage, which requires 40,000 EXP.) The two numbers, ADDED TOGETHER, must be LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO your game's experience cap. If the total is higher than your EXP cap, it's too late to Dual, unless you want to give up your first class entirely.
