I've also heard it referred to as "at-large IRV" (LWV Boulder,
https://downloads.regulations.gov/EAC-2020-0002-0003/attachment_1.pdf
page 4) or "bloc IRV" (Jameson Quinn,

I wouldn't call it STV either, and it can be near-arbitrarily
disproportional, e.g.
1048576: A>B>C>D>E
1: F
Two to be elected, the Droop proportionality criterion says that A and B
must be elected, but B, C, D, and E are eliminated by plain IRV because
they have no first preferences, leading A and F to be elected.
