I've heard these "back-to-back centuries referred to as "Twin Centuries." This was back in California in the 70's. I think twin century is a simplier and easier name.
Also, despite my preference for distances in metric, I like the Imperial nature of the "Double Century." I think miles are more appropriate here.
