There are two ways of planning it, either determine where you want the bunch to fall or where you don't want the bunch to fall.

I'm growing on a terraced mountain so I normally want the inside row to fall into the mountain which would need the shortest props to support them and also makes them more aerodynamic. The outer row I want to fall anywhere onto the terrace except if it's a dwarf, then I prefer them to fall onto the terrace but in a line so they don't block the pathway with a low hanging bunch.

Work smarter not harder.
