Based on an excellent piece by N6LF in the ARRL Antenna Book, this is your
best option with the length of wire you have. If you have more wire, add
more radials, again at that length. If you have a LOT more wire, then
consider making them longer.
In general, losses are I squared R, and I is greatest nearest to the
antenna.
