Sure, you could put 2 200A loadcenters on it if the total calculated load is under 200A and you don't exceed the 6 throws required by 230.71.

Hey Chris,
Their is a main circuit breaker on the main meter so that would throw off the the six rule disconnect.
So I need to do a Load Calculations in order to meet the NEC?
2- 100 Amp 2 Pole Circuit breakers to feed the Loadcenters

Correct as long as your load calculation works then you are good to go.

Sounds like a dwelling (at ET) so you might want to look at 220.83.
