Default Adding an inner stay for a staysail on the bowsprit

Hi, I have a wood schooner with a bowsprit rigged with a bobstay, wisker stays. Sail configuration is a jib not hanked to the forestay but on its own wire with a wykham roll furling...meaning the jib is fully set or fully furled, nothing in between. The sprit is mounted into a samsom post about 3.5 feet behind the bow ending. I want to add a staysail and it "looks" as if it shojld be mounted forward of the bow end, out on the bowsprit. I am planning to do a plate through bolted on the sprit or use a line to strop the stay to the boom viA lashings. Do I need to add a second bobstay from the through bolted stay down to stem where the forestay is connected. Also if I need a second bobstay should it be connected to a different spot on the stem to spread the load?
