Different sized plants, arrangment in prep for scrog?

Hey guys,
The pic pretty much explains it. I have 4 "big" plants and 4 that are younger and/or stunted do to previous deficiencies.This pic is a week old and they have been growing fast so I feel I need to get a screen up tonight. I have been training down the big ones as much as possible but I still have about a 6" differential in canopies. First grow FYI

Questions are:
-Do I use 1 big screen, mix them up, level out the lights and let the smaller ones grow up through while spreading the big ones out? Would this just expand the problem because the small plants are now 6" farther away from the lights?
-Or Leave them were they are and make 2 independent screens so that the lights/screens can be at optimum distance for each canopy height?
-Other methods?

Let me know what you guys think

This is just me based on no science. I would keep the heights close as possible. Maybe train the 4 bigger today. And give the other 4 a few days to reach roughly the same size as the ones you work on now. Once you start training them it wont matter because you will force them to be the same height

I would do two screens in case you have to move anything or access the rear underside of the canopy.

The main concern is keeping all branches as even as possible. Your plants look quite uniform and imo would perform nicely in one big screen as well. Growers preference

Set the screen for the biggest/tallest, and prop the smaller plants up accordingly. Magically, a nice even canopy will appear above the screen.

I had a ureaka! moment last night when I had the same thought, I even felt stupid for not thinking about that previously but then I realized that it wasn't possible because it's a Rdwc system therefore water levels in the sites would be dropped by however much I prop up. Arrgh! I attached a current pic, I have moved the "big" plants to the corners. I think I am just going to do one screen to cover the whole tent. The big plants will just have to be spread out and the little plants will just have less sqft available to them once they get up to the screen. It might take longer but all that matters is that the screen if filled right? Doesn't matter how much of the screen is available for any specific plant right?

Forgot to attach
