Those two can be ganged with the two number 14s, but it probably won't be necessary if the cap is moved. Out in KH6 I had a 500 foot run to my 4 el 40 at 150.

I have a long run to the rotor on my tall tower, and use ordinary 14-4 house wire for most of the run. It really is the least expensive way to do it.
