No. There is no standardized language that describes a group of related aggregates that is smaller than "bounded context".

The closest language I have seen is Udi Dahan's use of "autonomous component"; his example was something like a sales context, where you might have one business policy for your low volume customers and a completely different policy for your high volume "premium" customers. So we're serving the same business capability, but using different implementations to provide that capability.

But, as far as I can tell, it's "accidentally similar" to the sort of cluster of aggregates that you are thinking about, but not actually a match.
