Ideas for bulb wiring pattern for my T5 fixture with dimmable ballast?

[Harry_Y]

I have an 8 tube fixture that I am retrofitting with all dimmable ballast, originally
it was setup on two cords one for the inner 4 bulbs and one for the outer four.

I am now setting it up with 4 cords, 1 cord per two bulb ballast.
I will be turning in each ballast an hr apart and ramping them up.
(then ramping them down and turning them off at the end of the day)

So with that info in band what is the best way to wire them?
