growing table grapes to trellis - vigor question

hi,

i built a trellis with posts 8 or 10 feet apart. i built a "T" type, where there are two wires about 30 inches apart. i planted one grape plant in between posts. i've pruned my vines to just have 2 vertical trunks. my uneducated plan is to prune one trunk to go both left and right on 1 wire, and prune the 2nd trunk to go both left and right on the other wire. would this be too much spreading out to give enough energy for the grapes? or maybe make things too crowded? instead of splitting both trunks in both left and right directions, should i just have one trunk to right, and the other go left? if so, which wire should i do? one trunk to one wire, and one to the other? the vines are getting to the size where i'll need to start directing them along the wires. hopefully you follow what i'm asking. many thanks for your help
