There is no name for this concept because it doesn't make sense.

The zero or more on-link prefixes on a link are entirely separate from any
IP addresses the host might have on that link.

Any address the host has on that interface might be covered by zero on-link
prefixes, one on-link prefix, or more than one. Similarly, any on-link
prefix may cover zero or more addresses that the host has on that interface.
