One approach that sort-of works is to plug two walwarts (one for the Pi, one for the hub) into a single 3-outlet extension cord, then coil the excess wire (both mains and 5-volt) around the cleat- like object which results and hold it in place by a cable tie or split conduit. I've done a couple like this and it's ugly but better than loose wires. One can at least see where each Pi plugs in.

I would be careful -> avoid coiling low voltage with high voltage mains.   My concern is that you would end up with something akin to a (poor) transformer of sorts.  Wherein the high voltage mains would couple onto the low voltage lines.  At a 1:1 ratio, you'd end up with the same high voltage on the low voltage secondary side.
I don't know how many loops on a coil would be needed for this to be noticeable.
