Actually what I do is use two 8 cir with main breaker and feed thru lugs on the outside of the house and then two 40 cir ml panels inside.Yeah that is what I was thinking. A 400 amp main, double lug 3/0's to two separate 200 amp load centers with a main breaker.
The outside panels allow me to feed a/c's, pools, separate structures etc from it and the inside panels carry the rest of the loads inside.
Others use a 400 amp meter main panel. It comes wired with 2- 200 amp breakers for the load to the inside panels.
