Hi Graham it basically doesnt matter too much  :-))
The thing is to get as much wire as high as possible. Yes fold it back, meander it....spacings less than about 2 feet dont add much over a single wire. Drop the end if you have to but remember this may reduce the signal slightly in that direction....but it will increase slightly the capacity to ground. be careful of the dropped ends they are high voltage points and may not be "family friendly" ...... doubling the capacity to ground ( note ground....not lossy roofs/foliage underneath) will probably halve you ground losses. It will do very little to increase the radiation resistance.
 
Your diagram is difficult to read but running one of the wires directly under another will be of no benefit and may be worse than not having it......horizonltal spread is what you want, so pull it at least 2 feet aside before folding it back.......I think you get the idea.
