    Recently special structures of numbers in classical recurrence sequences are intensively investigated. In this paper all Padovan and Perrin numbers are determined which are concatenations of two base \(b\) repdigits with \(2\le b\le 9\). The largest such numbers are \(P_{26}=816=\overline{2244}_7\) and \(E_{24}=853=\overline{31111}_4\). The proofs are based on estimates for linear forms in the logarithms for algebraic numbers and Baker-Davenport reduction.
