contents We extend the equality-type results of Ito--Takimura and Kindred for the non-orientable genera of alternating knots to the setting of two-component alternating links. We show that, for such links, a unified quantity capturing both orientable and non-orientable genera is completely determined by the splice sequence realizing the splice-unknotting number up to an explicit correction term.
