How long do watermelon vines grow?

First time growing watermelons & I'm confused about how they grow. Some growing guides say plant several seeds in a mound & give 4'x6' space. I have some terraces that run across the width of my yard that are approximately2.5-3' deep. Will they grow in a single long vine with melons along the way? Or do they branch out like crabgrass from the plant? And should I only let one grow from each site or allow both seedlings to mature?

I'm going to plant a Sugar Baby which is compact, but would also like to try something fun like Orange Tendersweet or Orangeglo for the kids.

Thanks!
