(acordes) de séptima con la segunda o la cuarta suspendidas
Explanation:
"Acordes de séptima suspendida", aunque se encuentre alguna vez, no es un término lógico, porque lo que está suspendido no es la séptima, sino la cuarta (normalmente) o a veces la segunda. Es decir, que se trata de un acorde de séptima en el que se sustituye la tercera por la cuarta, o bien la fundamental por la segunda. Así pues, la expresión correcta será la indicada.

  -> True, you see it often without the article. In practice I think it probably means 7sus4, but I thought I'd better include 7sus2 as well just in case. Thanks, Sam :)
