I think there's quite a lot of variables for a good answer.
I have the benefit of having started tandemming when I wasn't a very good rider. We got our tandem to equal out the difference between Andy & me as he was a much stronger rider than I was. So in our case, our moving average was slower than his riding solo, but much quicker than me on my own. So if there is a big difference between rider strength, then it will be an average between the two (slightly faster than average actually).
I am now a slightly improved cyclist (but not particularly fast), so our tandem speed is faster than either of our solo speeds, sort of like riding in a permanent drafting position. Generally, we are quite fast on the flat, very fast downhill, and variable uphill. Uphill sections depend a lot on riding style. I'm not a natural climber, so out and out climbs are slow for me whatever I'm riding. The tandem is better suited to rolling hills as you can use the momentum of a downhill to get half-way up the next hill. Personally, I don't find hills that much slower than solo riding, as long as we don't totally lose momentum.
Can't really say what speed someone else would achieve on 70 miles as it is largely dependent on how fast they would ride anyway...
