How are you thinking of rigging it up ? ... that'll effect line length.

Probably go for mini-tipi or wedge, using one pole

If you go for a wedge or half pyramid I'd fit 1M lines on every tie apart from the 2 mid points on the long sides where I'd use 2m lines.
Depending how long your pole is you might find that you actually pitch the back side tight to the ground so don't use the lines. If your lines are adjustable then you can obviously set the thing at whatever height suits/pole allows.
