Here's a thought. I haven't actually tried this but I think it should 
answer your question. If anyone spots an error in my thinking, please say so.

As a rough test, connect the two in series and measure the resultant 
inductance. Start with them far apart and move them closer together. 
When the inductance starts to change, you have coupling between the 
two. Toroids are notoriously hard to couple together so you may find 
you can get them quite close with no interaction.

Please let us know what you find.
