is it possible to run another 200 amp sub panel from the original 200 amp panel
to power a storage building.

As long as your calculated load does not exceed any rating of conductor or equipment, yes.so i can come out the 200 amp meter can and supply 2 200 amp Panels ?
And the meter base is approved for more than one set of load conductors (if that's the plan.)As long as your calculated load does not exceed any rating of conductor or equipment, yes.so i can come out the 200 amp meter can and supply 2 200 amp Panels ?
Most of the 200 amp panels only accept as a max size breaker of 175 amp.
You could also use a W/P gutter and splice your conductors to feed the two panels.i can either use a sub-panel off the first panel or run 2 200 amp panels out of the meter Socket with some double lugs.
i would like to know if i put double lugs on the meter socket can i run
2 200 amp panels off of it.
it is a detached Storage that will be remodeled to a living space/shop
what would be the best way to supply a 200 amp panel to it.
it is about 200' from the existing panel.

The 200 amp panels I have seen will only take a 125 amp breaker on the bus bar.
Yes , snap- in panel to 125 amp but bolt- in panels to 175amp! With a 225 amp buss .
Part time-- you cannot get a 200 amp supply out to the other structure if you are feeding the house also. Why not install a 400 amp double lug meter base and feed one panel for the house and the second 200 amp panel for the detached structure.
You can pull a 200 amp feeder but that will not give you 200 amps.
