This code can probably work with some changes.

Notice that the code sets the default address to 0x2E
 
−
#define MCP4551_DEFAULT_ADDRESS 0x2E // A0 is connected to GND

That won't work on the 2 pot 4651.  See this note in the datasheet:

The default 4551 with A0 low is '0101 11`b + 0 where b is a 0 to make a byte so 0101110 or 0x2E.  With a 4651 with A0, A1, A2 all low, we should get 0101000 or 0x28.  As for writing to the second resistor array looks like the first 4 bits change.
