Could be, it has been a long time since I did that course. But thinking for a moment, a standard drive shaft has one Cardon joint out of phase with the other, on each end.
A double Carden setup, has a shaft (yoke), U-joint, driveshaft, U-joint, connection (actually a short shaft), U-joint, shaft (yoke).
The course I took was about 200 hundred hours and was devoted mostly to differential physics. I imagine U-joints would require a course of there own.
I seem to remember the number of joints reduces the drive angel, the less the drive angel, the less the angular velocity differences, from 180 degrees (flat).
The instructor did mention the odd number of joints being a factor in vibration control (or maybe it was the even number of shafts). In the end they all have to add up to 180 degrees or a flat plain. And the angle of the U-joint less than 90 degrees
