Thanks to all for your contributions. If I am not mistaken, provided pictures have a nice routing but none of them use HF ports for both (main and spare) second stages. And it seems that the only way to connect both second stages to HF ports is the option suggested by rongoodman - here is the picture attached. The hoses seem to interfere with valves, but actually reaching them makes no problem. The length of hoses is ok now, and there still is a HF port left for drysuit if not using argon. Maybe there still is a better way to route the hoses and use HF ports for second stages?

Id highly recommend against having your hoses stick out like that. Contact with the ceiling could have a very negative effect on the ferrules. There are much better ways to route hoses with mk17 type regulators.
 
Try this first. In your picture, you have the backup regulator coming from what would be your drysuit port if you were using one. Whatever way you turn the 1st stages, this will give you a "longer" backup regulator hose.

This is a great way to route the hoses. A+!
 
Evad's version would be ideal if the main reg. would be connected to HF port. It is really interesting what Halcyon representatives would say...

Looking @ your original picture re which is HF port, this looks like the only way. Tick-tock, tick-tock..

So here is one more version of the puzzle. Both second stages are connected to HF ports, hoses of spare reg. and wing seems to be long enough. Never seen such a configuration, but hope it should be ok ?
