FWIW: How about "Simple transactions" (with one debit & one credit) and "Compound transactions" (those with more than one debit or more than one credit)?

Fair enough. We need a new term for one of these things. It is a repeated source of confusion & consternation.

Except I would never refer to a transaction that affect JUST TWO accounts to have any "splits". When I use the term "splits" I mean that either there is more than one debit account, more than one credit account, or both. ALL transactions involve at least two accounts, at least one debit and at least one credit. That is fundamental to double entry bookkeeping.
