If they are two fully diminished chords, 1/2 step apart, how about:
B,C,D,Eb,F,Gb,Ab,Bbb,C

Nick, I can't find a written reference to "double diminished" but I
have heard the term used to name the diminished scale that is
composed of half-step whole-step intervals. This scale is actually
two diminished chords one half-step apart. So the run would be:
B, C, D, Eb, F, Gb, G#, A, B, C.
Just my guess, Bill.
