very well...i think "platty complex" is a very appropriate name for the group as RDR made the first lesser-lesser, and lesser phantom lucies with a platty, not to mention still being the only one ever to make platties...butter daddies, and phantom-daddies...all starting with the original "platty daddy"...

here's a hunch: notice how mojaves, lessers, butters, and phantoms have a distinct pattern that is easily distinguishable from normals? while russo line, fires, het ivories and other white-snake-makers have more conventional normal patterns?

i would postulate that the "platty complex" encompasses these more uniquely patterend animals in particular, and a more appropriate name might be something that refers to the distinct, albeit subtle pattern of this group of snakes ie: "Platty-pattern complex." as you said, any reference to white snakes would be a misnomer, as there will undoubtedly be numerous white-snake-making hets that will prove not to be encompassed within the same alleleel group.

since cinnemons have a sort of unique pattern, i would be very curious to see whether or not a "cinne-daddy" could be made?
