In this situation, you don't need to have the AC12's at all.

G61 coax BNC comms to center, BNC coax comms from center to first 7200. SpeakerLink from first 7200 to second, this connection will carry comms and digital signals
G61 RCA digital to center and RCA digital to first 7200.
Set center as master, set first 7200 as slave left or right coax, set second 7200 as RJ45 left or right slave.

When or if he buys a 218, set both 7200's to RJ45 in and set up D2 for the input from the G61. Set the ir mode of the 218 for auto. 218 will output SpeakerLink to the 7200 and the G61will be on D2
