" I'll use some sort of plastic to separate them, but they'll be within 10mm of each other I'm guessing."
From memory, the fields around the toroids are fairly minimal while intense though the core so the coupling core to core should be low even when in relatively close physical proximity.
Here is a question for you that might help with your issue - could you use two pieces of (eg 6mm) plastic material with a thin gauge metal sheet in between them as the spacer, preferably one that has defined magnetic characteristics (eg tinplate) rather than non-magnetic (eg Alfoil) ??? The metal doesn't have to be connected to anything (ground..) but should be a somewhat larger than the toroid diameters to create a shield effect.
Make sense ??
