I kind of like this idea -- and I can see how it applies to the current definition, unedited. (That is, "hollow" can be a noun referring to the hollow space itself.) The definition should definitely be reworded, though. How about:

x1 is a length of tubing/pipe/hollow cylinder [shape/form] of outer material x2, of inner material x3.
