Jérôme Duriez posted a new comment:
As a comment, what randomDensePack is limited to do, is to consider uniform particle size distribution around a mean radius value "rMean" (see "rRelFuzz" attribute of randomDensePack). 
So, it's indeed not possible to use it for bidisperse packing, but it is not limited to monodisperse packings either.

As another comment, regarding Jan's suggestion #1, you may also use "psdCumm" and "psdSizes" attributes of makeCloud function to define a bidisperse packing calling only once makeCloud, instead of twice in #1
(do not know if one method is simpler than the other, though)
