Possibly,
Flemish - to coil a line spirally, laid flat on deck, either for appearance or to make a mat (from Chapman Piloting)

Ah, someone just beat me to it. It's called a Flemish Flake, and each coil within is called a fake.

Okay, first off, it's not a rope, it's a line. Line refers to all fiber rope, natural or synthetic, while rope always refers to woven wire rope.
Laying a line down in a flat coil as you described it is called flemishing.
Is that what you were after?

| Ah, it's 10:15 pm. However, on a bad day, I might be just as likely to reply at 5am. :) |

Nice one! I left a comment.
BTW, you're not the only one having a stupid day. I should have realized that it's not 5AM for everyone in the world. My excuse is that it is 5AM for me, and that's waaaay too early for my brain cell. :)
