Double centuries and randonnees are two different things.
Randonnees are organised by Audax or Randonneuring clubs under BRM or ACP. Double centuries are organised by some other club ... could be a touring club or a racing club.
Randonnees have very specific rules and time limits. Double centuries can be ridden as fast or as slow as you want ... depending, of course, on when the volunteers go home.
Randonnees are 200K, 300K, 400K, 600K, 1000K, and 1200K. Double centuries are 323 km.
