Did that. At maximum output I am loosing about 0.05 volt across the cables
if the pairs are series and the sides are parallel. When it drops to
absorption stage it gets pretty insignificant. But you always strive for
perfection don't you? ;-)

Your alternator will not be delivering 200 amps for very long, if ever.
When charging current is "high" the closer bank will accept charge faster
than the farther bank. Eventually, as the charging current diminishes, the
voltage drop across the 4/0 cable will fall further into insignificance.

Apply Ohm's law and work out the numbers.
