Discord has already named it "speed tunnel". It's in common use now.

Then how about the P6 emulators are called shield volcanoes? So 64P6 would be heavyweight shield volcano

Period-5 fountains(dot or domino) should be called geysers. The name comes from volcano for the emulators and fountain for line dot/domino sparklers in general.

I think the left one that is a paperclip predecessor and snugly occupies the four diagonals of a glider stream should take the name "long mango" on par with the diagonally lengthening long^n barges and canoes.

Not actually unnamed, but there's got to be something better than "long long long boat" etc. so how about:
boat, long boat, 3-man boat, 4-man boat, etc.
ship, long ship, 3-man ship, 4-man ship, etc.
canoe, long canoe, 3-man canoe, 4-man canoe, etc.
barge gets awkward since a barge is already a long tub, but try tub, barge, long barge, 4-load barge, etc.
and similarly snake, long snake, 3-banded snake, 4-banded snake, etc.
