In addition to the four Appell functions there are 24 other sums of double series that cannot be expressed as a product of two $\mathop{{{}_{{2}}F_{{1}}}\/}\nolimits$ functions, and which satisfy pairs of linear partial differential equations of the second order. Two examples are provided by

(The region of convergence $|x|+|y|<\frac{1}{4}$ is not quite maximal.) See Erdélyi et al. (1953a, §§5.7.1–5.7.2) for further information.
