I need to send some bitcoins, but I’m not sure how long I must wait. I thought it was “safe” when the first two transactions disappeared, but that wasn’t the case. Based on what happened before, I’m assuming if I try again, the same thing will happen, since there is still an unconfirmed transaction. So how long should I wait before I try again? When will the double spend transactions disappear from my wallet?

Only blockchain.info knows. I suggest you contact their support and ask.

I suggest you move to proper wallet software like Bitcoin Core. It may be burdensome considering synchronizing and hardware use, but at least you can be sure that transactions are working 100% as intended. Normally 2 days wait time should lead to automatic reappearance of transactions with insufficient fees. Blockchain.info seems to be mixing things up here.
Blockchain.info, or someone else, appears to be rebroadcasting failed transactions in a kind of "low fee transaction rebroadcast" attack.  All these poor people/noobs just trying to send Bitcoins get screwed.  Is there any way to find out who is rebroadcasting all these failed transactions?
In the transactions, you can see the ip address that they were relayed from.
