I've never used the thing and perhaps I misunderstand what you're
saying, but you shouldn't need two 8237s.
Memory to memory is done with two DMA channels, channel 0 is the
source and channel 1 is the destination.

and (iirc) the chip is accessed through 16 locations, 4 address
lines, and each access toggles a fifth internal address bit and
there's a command to reset that bit to a known state.
