The hotel can't officially book them as one room/adjoining online, but as 2 rooms (maybe nearby or across the hall).

Does anyone have any experience with reimbursement in a situation like this? Both rooms are under the Prestige cardholder's name, who is the guardian of those staying in the other room. Would the two rooms count as 1 reservation if I booked them at the same time? i.e. would I be refunded both rooms on the 4th night?
Book nights 1-4 w/ citi; 5th direct under another name; 6-9th w/ citi; 10th direct; etc.

That's the only way to maximize the Citi benefit.
