Drop tuning has typically always meant you drop the lowest string to equal a fifth interval difference to the next... Double drop is usually in a 7 or 8-string context, and means both lowest strings.
Otherwise, how would you signify the difference between 7-string A+standard V.S. A-D+standard? Double the number of strings get dropped in A-D+Standard.
Any other tuning, the only "dropped strings" refer to the strings "other than standard" in tuning.
Drop C# has the lowest string a fifth interval distance to the next string, which the rest of the set is in Eb standard, starting on the 4th interval (Ab, 5th string).
