Treat each dual sectioned diode as one diode, by paralleling the sections, and hook up AC like its a half wave rectifier.
Works well in medium and high powered tube amps, to be avoided in low powered SE amps with high mu driver tubes that will "sense" the paralleled rectifiers' mis match as adding an audible skewing of the sound. Diction and enunciation suffers on a really good amp and high efficiency speaker system, my direct experience in 2013. Not a problem on lower efficiency speakers, with those, usually two are better, more slam.
