What do you call that configuration? Is that a "double B-Double"? :-?

So a 'double B-Double' would be two distinct 'B-Double' arrangements, with a dolly on the second? :-?

They call that set-up a quad ... either two b-doubles with a dolly in between or a single trailer then a dolly with a b-triple set-up behind. Tolls use these for running to Darwin they shuttle 2 standard b-double sets out of Syd to west of Roma (not sure where but it's where the zone for triple road-trains start) meet up with 2 up team quad goes nth with 2 up set up and sth bnd is split up into 2 seperate b-doubles and goes sth to Sydney ...

A-B Triple they follow you like a dog, great to tow,you dont get the trailer "sway" or "deflection" or whatever word you want to use for the rear trailer movement like a normal road train. :)
