Hi, Simon!
First off,
to the forum.
I can't help much with your DCC question because the only thing I know about DCC is how to spell it. However, the coupling distance between the A and B units is fairly easy to resolve. If they are to be permanently coupled together you could easily fashion a shorter drawbar out of styrene or metal. I did this when I double headed a pair of Roundhouse Critters.
I need to shorten the drawbar here but the photo shows what I did.

Here they are in operation. As you can see, the distance is a little too much but the drawbar is easily shortened.
