I think the real question is "what do you call a single figure or column of figures under a bass note". So far as I am aware, the term "figured bass" means a bass line (not a single note) that has figuring to indicate the harmonies. If I want to talk about a number of such bass lines - e.g. the bass lines of several pieces so notated - then I would call them "figured basses". I'm not sure that I have ever heard of a term to describe one single harmony so notated. Not a very helpful answer to your query, perhaps, but that's the usage I am familiar with.
