While technically a double run, the configuration you describe is a set of external bi-wire cables vs. internal bi-wire cables. A double run typically indicates two separate cables per channel connected to a single pair of non-bi-wire binding posts in order to double the cable cross section (AWG), while a set of external bi-wire cables indicates two separate cables per channel connected to two pairs of bi-wire binding posts per channel, one for the high-pass section, the other for the low-pass section. The use of external bi-wire cables vs. an internal bi-wire cable tends to provide better isolation of electrical and magnetic fields associated with the reduction of the EMF backwave produced by the motor function of the woofer from polluting the tweeter. Separate cables for both the high and low posts tends to take bi-wiring to the next level, with a positive affect on soundstaging and overall clarity vs. an internal bi-wire cable.
