I second the advice to take a look at the Harken diagrams. I have been using one of their products for over 12 years now, and I can attest to the fact that the geometry works well. Actually, except for the self tapping screws supplied for the cleat, the whole kit worked out well. Seemed a little pricey at the time, but I have no regrets. One design feature I like is the use of wire for the standing line. Reduces windage, and just looks right. The wire shows no sign of wear, and the running line which wears at the blocks can be replaced from the deck. I don't know if it would wear less using rings instead of blocks, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Something simple with rings instead of blocks. The two top most lines attach ... where? I'm aiming for half way between the spreaders and the top of the mast. How long should the top piece be (ie where does the first split occur? Appreciate any insights!
