If you want to keep your splt ridge line and you find the lines are long enough to go around the tree and back to the tarp, then you could put a figure-9 on a split ring on the ridgeline D-Ring. Just go around the tree and hook off on the figure-9. You could also attach that figure-9 to the ridgeline cord with some prusik (and usually smaller cord than that used for the ridgeline) and slide it where it works best for you.
I do appreciate Dutchware hardware and there are many “toys/bling” that will work in place of a figure-9. But looking more toward economy instead of weight, you could use REI utility cord for the ridgeline and the figure=9 works with the larger (like 2.5-3mm instead of 1.75 - 2mm) cord.
If you are into the light stuff and use tiny dynema for ridgeline, a Dutchware wasp at each end is large enough to not be too fussy and easier than smaller stuff to slide where you want it on the cord. If you use a Wasp, remember to lock the cord on the “tail” so it doesn’t slide once you have it where you want.
