Default Rig a staysail stay

Good morning,

I would like to rig a staysail stay to use jib/staysail on my 10 meter steel boat.
I would like to understand what is the distance the two stays need to be apart for the best interaction between sails.
And if they need to be parallel one to the other.
I have now a masthead rig stay (4.1 meter J) and a second removable stay positioned 0.5 m. lower and 1.2 m. in.
The mast supported on deck: 13.25 m.
(2 spreader at 5.4 m. and 9.7 m. from the deck)
Double backstays, no running backstays.
4 lower, 2 medium, 2 high shrouds

I have been sailing on the trades using mostly a big genoa on the furling system or a smaller flat cut upwind staysail on the removable stay.

thank you

Roberto
