Skin-on-Frame: Deck Lines *PIC*

I am using latigo leather deck lines for my SOF. I plan on using 3 lines in front of the cockpit with 2 sliders. One slider between lines 1 and 2 on the right and one slider between lines 2 and 3 on the left. I also will be using one bead on line 1 on the left and one bead on line 3 on the right. Kinda like the pic shown (minus the seals). Behind the cockpit, I'm using 2 deck lines with 2 sliders. Question: How tight/loose do I put the deck lines on?

Also, do I have to do each line separately or can I run them continuously?

Thanks everyone.
