My understanding was that this was a hardware configuration where
two regulators operate as one with only one set of registers used
for configuration.

No, coupled regulators are regulators where the voltages can vary
but there's a constraint that their configurations need to be
related somehow, for example they must be within 200mV of each
other or something like that.
